STEMI (ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction): Epidemiology, Diagnosis (ECG), Criteria & Management Acute STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) is the most severe manifestation of coronary artery disease . This chapter deals with the pathophysiology, definitions, criteria and management of patients with acute STEMI. Although ECG changes in acute STEMI have been discussed previously (refer to ECG Changes in Acute Myocardial Infarction ), a rehearsal is provided below. Management of acute STEMI will be discussed in detail with emphasis on evidence-based therapies. The clinical definitions and recommendations presented in this chapter are in line with guidelines issued by the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the European Society for Cardiology (ESC). A large body of evidence supports the concepts and recommendations presented in this chapter. ECG examples of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
