EMS 12-Lead

Coronary thrombosis is a dynamic process of platelet aggregation and subsequent coagulation. During spontaneous reperfusion -- whether via thrombolysis, or recruitment of collateral circulation -- there exists characteristic ST/T changes on the ECG. Case Review:

Accurate lead placement is invaluable, and makes a significant impact on appropriate care trajectory, or misdiagnosis with unnecessary utilization of resources. A common finding associated with V1 / V2 malposition is P wave inversion, and rSr’ QRS with T wave inversion -- potentially leading clinicians to suspect Brugada pattern, for example, when no such entity exists. Another spurious finding is a QS pattern that mimics Anterior MI, and in the acute setting this may elicit
