An anterior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This can cause an ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial ...

Identifying an acute myocardial infarction on the 12-lead ECG is the most important thing you can learn in ECG interpretation. Time is muscle when treating heart attacks. Missing a ST segment ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Artificial intelligence-based ECG interpretation (AI-ECG) outperformed standard decision-making when it came to detecting angiographically confirmed STEMI across three primary PCI ...

Powerful Medical, a leader in AI-driven cardiovascular diagnostics, announces that its PMcardio STEMI AI ECG model has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the US Food and Drug ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that mines ECG data and alerts the primary PCI team to activate the cath lab can reduce STEMI patients’ arrival times by as much as 10 minutes, according to ...

This study is reminiscent of a 2009 publication by Jayroe and colleagues [1] in which researchers asked 15 experienced cardiologists to interpret 116 ECGs for evidence of STEMI. In that study, only 8 ...
