“…A diagnosis of STEMI will be made when there is ST elevation at the J point in two contiguous leads with the cut points of ≥ 0.1 mV (i.e., ≥1 mm) in all leads other than V2-V3, where the cut points of ≥ 0.2 mV (≥ 2 mm) were used. 13 In addition to the above STEMI criteria, the term 'STEMI equivalent' is used for ≥1 mm ST segment depression in ≥ 8 ECG leads plus ≥1 mm ST segment elevation in lead aVR (or V1). Isolated ST segment depression of ≥1mm in contiguous leads V1-3 also is considered a STEMI equivalent for posterior myocardial infarction (i.e., generally due to isolated left circumflex occlusion).…”

Background: In patients experiencing an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), rapid diagnosis leads to optimal clinical outcomes. Recent technology has provided access to a reliable means of obtaining an ECG reading through a smartphone application (app) that works with an attachment providing all 12-leads of a standard ECG system. We developed a 12-lead smartphone-based electrocardiogram (ECG) called “Spandan”, and an application to accurately assess the presence of STEMI in patients presenting with chest pain. Objectives of study was to perform clinical observation studies on the patients screened for STEMIs and evaluate the variation in the diagnosis of STEMIs detected in both 12-lead gold standard and Spandan 12 lead ECG. Methods: This single-center study was carried out at Shri Mahant Indresh hospital (SMIH), Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India from April-2022 to November-2022. All patients (n=278) visiting the ECG room with symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath and past history of cardiovascular disease at the department of cardiology of the SMIH, Dehradun were included in the study. Results: Mean age (SD) was 53.96±15.31 years. The male gender participants was 75.17%. 14.3% were STEMI patients as per the standard 12 lead interpretation, smartphone ECG interpreted 7.1% of the participants as STEMI and cardiologist interpreted nearly 15.4% of the participants of STEMI. Conclusions: This study confirmed the potential of a smartphone ECG for evaluation of STEMI and the feasibility of studying this technology further to define the diagnostic accuracy, limitations, and appropriate use of this new technology.

“…Bleeding from the inferior or superior epigastric artery is the most common cause of the condition. RSH can occur in various locations and be of different sizes [ 2 ]. A forceful contraction of the rectus abdominis can cause the injury [ 1 ].…”

The authors report on the case of a 69-year-old female who presented to the emergency department due to exquisite abdominal pain she described as occurring after she coughed. Imaging revealed a rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). A RSH is an uncommon but significant cause of acute abdominal pain that occurs when blood accumulates in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. It can be caused by a muscular tear or a ruptured epigastric artery and can happen spontaneously or after trauma. The etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management are discussed.

Objective: The frontal QRS-T angle (fQRS-T) is associated with myocardial ischemia and ventricular arrhythmias. On the other hand, acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a major risk factor for cardiac adverse events. This research aimed to determine whether the fQRS-T, a marker of ventricular heterogeneity, can be used to predict successful thrombolytic therapy in patients with APE.Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Patients diagnosed with APE and hospitalized in the intensive care unit between 2020 and 2022 were included in the research. A total of 136 individuals with APEs were enrolled in this research. The patients were divided into two groups: thrombolytic-treated (n=64) and non-treated (moderate to severe risk, n=72). An ECG was conducted for each patient, and echocardiography was performed.Results: The mean age of the thrombolytic group was 58.2±17.6 years, with 35 females (55.1% of the group) and 29 males (44.9%). The non-thrombolytic group had a mean age of 63.1±16.2, with 41 females (56.5%) and 31 males (43.5%). Respiratory rate, heart rate, and fQRS-T were higher in the thrombolytic group, and oxygen saturation ratio and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the non-thrombolytic group (p=0.006, p<0.001, p=0.021; p<0.001, p=0.015, p<0.001, respectively). In the thrombolytic therapy group, comparing pre-and post-treatment ECG data revealed a statistically significant change in the fQRS-T value (p=0.019). Conclusion:The fQRS-T may provide important clues for the successful treatment of APEs.
