he ECG master, Amal Mattu (@amalmattu), wowed the Essentials 2015 crowd with his practice-changing ECG pearl to catch STEMIs before they happen, looking at only ONE lead! www.essentials...
I am burned out and ready to move on to something else. Watching these videos and learning new things I never understood before is renewing my passion.
Wonderful presentation, and I loved the pearls of wisdom in catching STEMIs that this video offered. . Thank you, Dr Mattu. Will be indebted to you always 🙏🏼
I didn’t know this one even after doing ACLS. But ..got an excuse...I’m a surgeon. 😉😉😉. Oh.. when you see TWO surgeons looking at an ECG, what type of study is that? ANSWER: a DOUBLE BLIND STUDY....😜
Awesome lec! Should we be worried about flipped twaves in any other leads ? Besides in a strain pattern? Ie if there are flipped twaves in any other leads besides aVL should we be worried about acute ACS?
3:17 Is obviously diagnostic of a inferoposterolateral OMI... not just a inferior. The utilization of the "STEMI criteria" is an outdated approach, and it is imperative to fully embrace the OMI paradigm. Time is of the essence as it directly impacts myocardial health, and the adoption of OMI protocols will likely result in better preservation of myocardium compared to the STEMI criteria. If Doctors are still using STEMI criteria, its time they learn more about ECG's. The ECG taken at 5:53 also shows clear indications. In lead 3, there is a slight STE with hyperacute T waves, accompanied by reciprocal changes in aVL, where there is a minimal STD with inverted HATW's. As stated earlier, if Doctors had familiarized themselves with the OMI paradigm, the patient could have been in the cath lab 2.5 hours earlier. Im just a Firefighter/Paramedic and it seems that I can read ECG's better then Doctor's, which is kind of sad.
