Posterior Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis on the Standard ECG

…cells. The resulting voltage gradient between normal and ischaemic myocardium generates currents of injury that are expressed on the surface ECG as ST segment displacement…

SGLT2 Inhibitors for Cardiovascular and Renal Protection

…glucose is reabsorbed by SGLT1 in the S3 segment. SGLT2 also mediates proximal tubular sodium reabsorption, with chloride following passively down the resulting electrochemical gradient…

Coronary Anatomy and Segmental Classification for the Clinician

…effect of the lesion. The apparent percentage stenosis is calculated relative to an adjacent reference segment presumed to be relatively normal. This assumption may be…

Congenital heart disease & GUCH (Grown Up Congenital Heart disease)

…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…

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and ECG Criteria

…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 depression in myocardial ischemia and differential diagnoses

…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…

ST segment elevation in acute myocardial ischemia and differential diagnoses

…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…

The ST segment: physiology, normal appearance, ST depression & ST elevation

…to such ECG changes. It must also be noted that the J point is occasionally suboptimal for measuring ST segment deviation. This is explained by…

Left Ventricular Segments for Echocardiography and Cardiac Imaging

…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…
