characteristics: Typical symptoms (i.e., ischemic-type
chest discomfort) A rise and fall in serum cardiac markers Typical ECG pattern involving the
development of Q waves

ECG evolution in Q-wave Myocardial Infarction
Tall peaked T-waves ST-segment elevation Appearance of abnormal Q wave Decrease of ST-segment elevation
with the beginning of T-wave inversion Isoelectric ST-segment with
symmetrical T-wave inversion
![Page 25: Is He Having The Big One? Sirous Partovi, M.D. Department of Emergency Medicine TTUHSC, El Paso.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da55503460f94a90d18/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tall T- Waves
The earliest sign of AMI Due to subendocardial ischemia Within minutes or hours after the
onset of chest pain Transient Most ECGs fail to show this pattern
![Page 26: Is He Having The Big One? Sirous Partovi, M.D. Department of Emergency Medicine TTUHSC, El Paso.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da55503460f94a90d18/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

ST-Segment Elevation
The most common early ECG sign STE - specificity 91% , sensitivity 46% Mortality increases with the number of
ECG leads showing ST elevation STE decreases in the first 7-12 hours STE resolves within 2 weeks in 90% of
IWMI, but only in 40% of anterior MI

BER or Pericarditis ST segment elevation in the two syndromes
is similar PR segment in pericarditis is often depressed ST segment elevation in acute pericarditis
tends to be widespread across the ECG T waves in pericarditis frequently is of normal
amplitude and morphology, whereas the T wave in BER is frequently altered
The ratio of the ST segment elevation to the height of the T wave (ST/T) is also a helpful guide; a ratio greater than 0.25 in lead V6 strongly suggests pericarditis

underlying heart disease In patients with AMI, RBBB is
present in 3-7% of cases In uncomplicated RBBB, there
usually is little ST-segment displacement
