ST Elevation - EKG / ECG Interpretation Case 12 (STEMI, MI, ACS)

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

- Clues and criteria to assess for STEMI (ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) vs other causes of ST elevation (pericarditis etc.).
- A systematic approach to reading an ECG (rate, rhythm, axis, hypertrophy, ST changes, etc.)
- Initial steps of STEMI treatment

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:

- The physiology of the heart
- EKG leads and vectors
- Leads and EKG paper
- The ECG tracing
- EKG waves, complexes, and intervals (p waves, QRS complexes, PR interval etc.)
- Axis on EKG and precordial leads
- The autonomic nervous system and the heart
- Heart rate and automaticity on the ECG
- The R to R interval
- Rhythm, arrhythmias, and escape rhythms,
- Premature beats and pauses on EKG
- Bigeminy, trigeminy, and tachyarrhythmias
- V-tach and torsades de points
- Atrial and ventricular flutter
- WPW syndrome (Wolff-Parkinson-White) and WPW pattern.
- Atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation on ECG
- Heart blocks and escape rhythms (1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree heart block)
- Bundle branch blocks, hemiblocks, and fascicular blocks
- Hypertrophy (LVH) and atrial enlargement
- COPD, PE, Hyperkalemia, Digoxin and the EKG
- How to systematically read an EKG (and the appearance of a normal ECG).
- Many practice EKG strips (that Dr. Seheult interprets step by step)
- EKG quizzes follow each video.

MedCram = MORE understanding in LESS time

MedCram: Medical education topics explained clearly including: Respiratory lectures such as Asthma and COPD. Renal lectures on Acute Renal Failure and Adrenal Gland. Internal medicine videos on Oxygen Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve and Medical Acid Base. A growing library on critical care topics such as Shock, Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), and Mechanical Ventilation. Cardiology videos on Hypertension, ECG / EKG Interpretation, and heart failure. VQ Mismatch and Hyponatremia lectures have been popular among medical students and physicians. The Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) videos and Ventilator-associated pneumonia bundles and lectures have been particularly popular with RTs. NPs and PAs have given great feedback on Pneumonia Treatment and Liver Function Tests among many others. Dr. Jacquet teaches our FAST exam tutorial & bedside ultrasound courses. Many nursing students have found the Asthma and shock lectures very helpful. We're starting a new course series on clinical ultrasound/ultrasound medical imaging.

Recommended Audience - Medical professionals and medical students: including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, respiratory therapists, EMT and paramedics, and many others. Review and test prep for USMLE, MCAT, PANCE, NCLEX, NAPLEX, NBDE, RN, RT, MD, DO, PA, NP school and board examinations.

Very well explained and this lecture is a must, not only for the beginners but also for the specialists in this field. It’s just amazing. Thanks.

[koazadsinghnegi]

Thanx Dr for your easiest way to illustrate this ECG interpretation.

[ancavoinov]

Excellent presentation, clear and straight forward! Thank you!

[catubefun]

New pharmacist grad trying to further solidify concepts not focused on in school. Thank you <3

5:25 Using the isoelectric method to determine cardiac axis, why would the most perpendicular one to Lead I not be Lead aVF, but Lead II?

[tobuslieven]

9:33 In lead II and III it looks a like ST depression. How do I know to discount this, and look at the elevation in the precordial leads leads?

[felixgates]

Thanks soon much MedCram. I have been struggling with EKG/ECG for some time now due poor lecturer explanations. But u vides are helping me a lot

[The.reikimedic]

Aussie paramedic student has now passed thank you SO much

[abrarahmad]

ST seg depression on aVR plus tachycardia points to pericarditis.

[DEREKCHOWIE]

Wonderful simply Wonderful contribution to Humanity, Pleased to partner with U, Aseem Malhotra Derek C Howie Roger Seheult professor Med Cram videos

[dwaggalaxy]

Great thanks, I think there is a new RBBB in the second EKG. Thanks again

[Traumamonkey]

Are you able to number these so I know where to start?

[chhavirajchauhan]

How a doctor marks the QRS location in 12 lead ECG signals. Which lead is used for accurate R peak marking

[winwin-cdbx]

Sir i think you mislabeled q wave with s wave when u talk about r/s ratio ini this video..

[chrispeters]

My ecg said mild st elevation and the ecg before that said poor r wave leads 2 and 3. Is this bad ?

[hervelouon]

Belgian med stud passing by, good job explaining ;)

[KishorJoshiMCh]

sv1 +rv5/rv6 >35mm would be LVH criteria

[lilysal]

today my teacher asked me why we don't use the ekg as an investigation for nonstemi type and I didn't know what to answer, can u answer me abt this pls?

[ZEKRA]

I didn't get the hypertrophy!!
And thanks
