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. Understanding STEMI: Why Accurate ECG Interpretation Matters A 12-lead ECG remains the first and most critical diagnostic test when evaluating suspected myocardial infarction. STEMI is identified when there is evidence of acute coronary artery occlusion, producing transmural ischemia and characteristic ST-segment eleva...

However, this rule might be somewhat later than currently used in a real-world practical setting.

2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines Key points

  2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines Explained: A Clear Summary for Clinicians and Students Hypertension remains one of the most significant contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. With continual refinement of evidence and risk-based strategies, the 2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines bring an updated, practical approach that clinicians can use in daily practice. To make learning easier, I’ve created a clean and modern infographic summarizing all major recommendations. You can download it below and use it for study, teaching, or clinical reference. Download Infographic (PNG): 2025 Hypertension Guideline Infographic This post breaks down the key points from the guidelines and complements the infographic for a complete understanding. --- BP Categories: Understanding the Updated Thresholds The guidelines maintain the well-established classification of blood pressure: Normal: <120 / <80 Elevated: 120–129 / <80 Stage 1 Hypertension: 130–139 and/or 8...
