ECG Cases 54 The Art of Occlusion MI: Scale and Proportionality
On this month's ECG Cases, Dr. Jesse McLaren explains how STEMI criteria can be false positive with large scale QRS and proportional ST elevation, or false negative with low/normal scale QRS and disproportionate ST elevation and hyperacute T waves, and that rules for subtle occlusion using proportionality can help differentiate LBBB with or without Occlusion MI, or LV aneurysm vs anterior STEMI with Q waves...

ECG Cases 52 – ECGs falsely labeled “normal”
In this ECG Cases Dr. Jesse McLaren outlines why not to trust the ECG interpretation, even if normal, because it can miss critical findings. He explores how to independently and systematically interpret every ECG so that when the computer ECG interpretation says "normal" you don't miss key findings...
