Routine use of early angiography and, if needed, reperfusion in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is standard of care for those with ST-segment elevation. But whether the same ...

An ST depression is a possible outcome of an electrocardiogram (ECG) test. It can indicate health conditions such as hypokalemia, myocardial ischemia, or a side effect of medications. Doctors may ...

A substantial proportion of patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy for myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation have inadequate reperfusion or reocclusion of the infarct-related artery, ...

ST-segment elevation on the EKG in COVID-19 patients was especially complex and had poor prognosis in a small case series from New York City hospitals. Confirmed COVID-19 was complicated by ST-segment ...
