Background

  • Its presence must be explained (there is no "nonspecific ST elevation")
  • Not a specific marker for STEMI

Differential Diagnosis

  1. Myocardial Infarct (STEMI)
  2. Wellens' Syndrome
  3. Coronary spasm (eg, Prinzmetal's angina)
  4. Drugs (eg, cocaine, crack, meth)
  5. Pericarditis
  6. LV aneurysm
  7. Early repolarization
  8. LBBB
  9. LVH
  10. Misc
    1. Meds: TCA, digoxin
    2. RV pacing (appears as LBBB)
    3. Hyperkalemia
    4. Hypothermia
      1. "Osborn J waves"
    5. Brugada Syndrome

Diagnosis

Early Repolarization versus STEMI

  • Early Repolarization suggested by:
    • ST elevation <4mm
    • Notched J point
    • Concave or saddle-back ST morphology
    • No reciprocal changes

LVH versus STEMI

  • Difficult to exclude MI in pt with LVH (pt already at risk for MI)
  • Best aid is prior ECG or serial ECGs

LBBB versus STEMI

See Sgarbossa's Criteria

STEMI

  • ST elevation in those leads that reflect the distribution of a single coronary artery
    • RCA: II, III, aVF (inferior)
    • LAD: V1-V4 (antero-septal)
    • Circumflex: V5-V6, I, aVL (lateral)
    • Dominant left circulation: infero-lateral
  • ST morphology
    • Concave up versus convex
      • Convex has Sp 97%, Sn 77%
  • Look for reciprocal ST depression
    • 35% of anterior STEMI have ST depression in inferior leads
    • 80% of inferior STEMI have ST depression in anterior leads
      • However, may represent reciprocal changes OR posterior STEMI
