Explore an in-depth video lecture on the electrocardiography of cardiac ischemia, presented by Dr. Amal Mattu. Delve into crucial aspects of ECG interpretation, including recognizing subtle signs of impending infarctions, understanding drug contraindications in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, identifying arrhythmic syncope indicators, and detecting elusive ECG clues for myocarditis. Learn about the risks associated with software-read ECGs, the prevalence of ECG use in emergency departments, and the critical importance of accurate interpretation to prevent inappropriate discharge of acute myocardial infarction patients. Gain insights into assumptions, high-risk scenarios, medical-legal considerations, missed acute coronary syndromes, and the universal definition of STEMI. Examine case studies, including atypical chest pain, and engage with student questions to enhance your understanding of this vital diagnostic tool in cardiac care.

Siddig Yousif KenaniThe most important message is to remember the importance of repeated 12 lead ECG.
secodly ST elevation defined as elevation more than 2mm in two consecutive leads except for leads V3 and V4
