Getting Acquainted With Ischemia and Infarction

Ischemia Is NOT an Infarction!

Beschreibung

Getting Acquainted With Ischemia and Infarction - Ischemia Is NOT an Infarction! is an excellent guide to recognizing and diagnosing Occlusion Myocardial Infarctions (OMI). From the simple and obvious to the very complex and enigmatic, complete and partial occlusions of the coronary arteries are an everyday fact of life for those in cardiology, emergency medicine, critical care, hospital medicine and all emergency medical services. No medical discipline is as undertaught and underemphasized during medical education than the interpretation of the electrocardiogram - one of the most frequently ordered tests. Many introductory texts and online courses are based on outdated concepts and material. In this book, the author covers all the background knowledge and tools you will need to become proficient at diagnosing ischemia and infarction. You will learn...The difference between ST elevation and ST depression (or is there really a difference?) The meaning of hyperacute T waves and how they develop The causes of reperfusion T waves and pseudonormalization of T waves How acute coronary occlusions can present without any ST elevation The dangers of rushing to diagnose acute pericarditis The basis of reciprocity and the cancellation of forces How to localize an occlusion within a coronary artery
