I was involved in a malpractice case a couple of years ago as a consultant. The case involved an emergency physician who was being sued for failure to make a rapid diagnosis of an ST-segment elevation ...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis to mitigate severe cardiac damage. The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains ...

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 ...

A 50-year-old woman experiences jaw discomfort while at work. It increases in intensity, accompanied by diaphoresis and nausea. An ambulance is called 40 minutes after symptom onset. On arrival to the ...

Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who receive an electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to arriving at the hospital have lower 30-day mortality compared with those who do not, according to a ...

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 ...
