Electrocardiographic ST‐segment Elevation The Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction by Morphologic Analysis of the ST Segment

Abstract

A non-concave STE morphology is frequently encountered in AMI patients. While the sensitivity of this pattern for AMI diagnosis is not particularly helpful, the presence of this finding in adult ED chest pain patients with STE strongly suggests AMI. This technique produces consistent results among these EPs.
