The evolution of a STEMI: even though ischaemia is the first thing that happens, it's not the first change that you will see on the ECG. On a normal ECG, the ST segment is on the baseline. As soon as a patient is experiencing a myocardial infarction, the ST segment will elevate within minutes. For this reason, you will not see the T wave inversion until much later. So, the first sign you will see on your ECG is the ST elevation. As the ST segment comes down within 12-24 hours, the T wave can now

📌STEMI: Your Quick-Reference Guide for Every Cath Lab Scenario! 🚨 6 Critical STEMI Types 👉🏻 Must Know 🔹 Anterior | Inferior | Right Ventricular 🔹 Posterior | Septal | Lateral 💡✅ Artery Culprits: LAD = Anterior/Septal STEMI (⚠️ High risk of LV dysfunction, septal rupture). RCA = Inferior/RV STEMI (💧 Fluids > Nitrates). LCx = Posterior/Lateral STEMI (🔍 Always check for associated mitral regurgitation). ✅ ECG Life-Savers: V1–V4 → Anterior II, III, aVF → Inferior V7–V9 → Posterior V4R → Rig

🧠📚Let’s take a deep dive into Myocardial Infarction - STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -COMPLETE blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -STEMIs are diagnosed when the ST segment rises higher than normal 🫀NSTEMI (Non- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -PARTIAL blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -*NSTEMI think NOT a complete block -You may see ST depression or T wave inversion (keep in min
