Abstract |
Prior studies indicate that a subset of patients diagnosed as having ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will have an initial non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) during evaluation. However, the timing of diagnostic ECG changes in this group is unknown. Our primary aim was to describe the timing of ECG diagnosis of STEMI in patients whose initial ECG was non-diagnostic. Secondarily, we sought to compare the delivery of American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines-based care and in-hospital outcomes in this group compared with patients diagnosed as having STEMI on initial ECG. |
