Case Description
Ten electrodes are positioned on the patient's limbs and the surface of the chest during a standard 12-lead ECG. Then, using twelve distinct angles (or "leads"), the overall magnitude of the heart's electrical potential is determined and recorded throughout time (usually ten seconds). This allows...
Case Summary
- The session focuses on interpreting ECGs, particularly in the context of acute coronary syndromes and various arrhythmias. Emphasis is placed on identifying STEMI by recognizing ST segment elevations, understanding reciprocal changes, and differentiating STEMI from conditions like hyperkalemia. The importance of comparing the ST segment to the TP segment for accurate elevation assessment is highlighted.
