…the relationship between the ventricles, the ventriculo arterial connection and the relationship of the great arteries (segmental analysis). Ventricular function is evaluated using ejection fraction…

…branch block, Wolff–Parkinson–White patterns or ventricular pacing STEMI and non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are contemporary clinical and electrocardiographic categories. Earlier…

…ST segment to T wave is more abrupt in ischemia (the transition is normally smooth). Refer to Figure 2 . Figure 2. Transition from ST segment…

…Moreover, the ST segment may have a concave appearance if the T wave is prominent (such as in hyperkalemia, early repolarization or even early phases…

…and clinical applications of these modalities, the definitions of cardiac planes, ventricular segments, and coronary arterial territories evolved differently. This resulted in difficulties when comparing…
