???? Are you facing acute coronary syndrome and stuck in the outdated STEMI (ST-elevation) paradigm? This video is the guide you need to understand the revolutionary change in the approach to heart attacks. OMI: Occlusion myocardial infarction ???? Modern Diagnosis: More than 25-30% of patients classified as NSTEMI under the STEMI paradigm have total coronary occlusion. Expert ECG interpretation, rather than strict STEMI criteria, successfully reclassifies 28% as having acute coronary occlusion, responding well to immediate reperfusion and reducing short- and long-term mortality. ???? Results from the DIFOCCULT Study (Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc. 2020 Oct;30): Patients with OMI, those who benefit from urgent reperfusion therapy, often do not meet STEMI criteria on initial ECG. ???? OMI Manifesto: Since 2018, awareness of ST elevation as an unreliable tool has led to a shift to a more reliable paradigm for detecting acute coronary occlusion. ????⚕️ Hello, I'm Rodrigo Jara, a physician specializing in emergency medicine with over 13 years of experience.
