STEMI ECG Criteria and Universal Definition of MI

  STEMI ECG Criteria and the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction: A Complete Guide for Clinicians Early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the cornerstone of reducing morbidity and mortality in patients presenting with chest pain. Among all forms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) represents the most time-sensitive emergency, requiring immediate reperfusion therapy. This article provides a clinically relevant summary of the STEMI ECG criteria and the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (UDMI), based on the latest consensus guidelines from the ESC, ACC, AHA, and WHF. --- 1.
