ST ELEVATION
Jason Mitchell, PGY2
July 15, 2010
Context
 CP and ST Elevation common ED presentation
 Correct ECG interpretation impacts management
decisions and patient outcome
 Certain patients with CP and ST elevation require rapid
intervention via thombolysis or PCI
 Misdiagnosis potentially harmful
Context
 1996 ACC/AHA Class I Recommendation for Thrombolysis
 “ST elevation greater than 0.1 mV in two or more
contiguous leads.”1

Context
 2000 ACEP Qualifier
 “ST-segment elevations greater than 0.1 mV in 2 or more
contiguous leads that are not characteristic of early
repolarization or pericarditis, nor of a repolarization
abnormality from LVH or BBB in patients with clinical
presentation suggestive of AMI.”2

Early Repolarization
Early Repolarization
 Normal variant
 Males > Females
 ECG Findings:
 Diffuse, Concave up ST Elevation 2-5mm (Usually precordial)
 Notched J-Point
 Prominent T-Waves
 Temporal stability
Early Repolarization
 “Benign” Early Repolarization
 Increased prevalence of early repolarization in idiopathic VF
 Most pronounced with inferior J-Point elevation
 Increased risk of cardiac death (ie – sudden arrythmia)
 J-Point 1mm: RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.05 – 1.59
 J-Point 2mm: RR 2.98, 95% CI 1.85 – 4.923
 Isolated BER in limbs leads should prompt ACS investigations

Pericarditis
Pericarditis
 Diffuse ST Elevation
 Diffuse PR Depression
 Caveat: aVR
 ST Depression, PR Elevation
Pericarditis
 Stages – All 4 Present in ~50% of patients
 I – ST Elevation, concordant T-Waves, PR Depression
 II – ST segments return to baseline, T-Waves flatten
 III – T-Wave inversion
 IV – T-Wave resolution
Pericarditis
 Differentiation from STEMI
 Concave Up ST segments
 ST elevation beyond contiguous leads
 No simultaneous T-Wave inversion
 Reciprocal changes absent
 Serial ECGs not consistent with STEMI patterns
 No Q-Wave development
Pericarditis vs. BER
 Differentiation of Pericarditis from BER
 V6 ST/T Ratio
 Pericarditis > 0.25
 BER < 0.25
LVH
LVH
 Tall R waves lateral leads
 Deep S waves anterior precordial leads
 Concave Up ST elevation, typically V1-V3
 LAD
LBBB
LBBB
 Wide QRS
 Large, positive R wave without q or s waves in I, aVL, V6
 Notched ‘M Shaped’ R wave V5, V6
 Normal or leftward axis
 ST depression and T wave inversion in leftward leads
 ST elevation and upright T waves in right precordial leads
LBBB
 7% of MI4
 Significantly less likely to receive ASA
 Increased in-hospital mortality
