Offering fingertip access to essential information, this pocket reference helps students recognize ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by introducing the 5-step approach to 12-lead analysis, making it faster and easier to learn 12-lead interpretation. A simple, step-by-step approach includes tables, illustrations, and practice 12-lead ECGs to help in determining the likelihood of the presence of STEMI versus imposters or other causes of ST elevation. Available separately or as a package with its corresponding textbook, The 12-Lead ECG in Acute Coronary Syndromes Text, 3rd Edition.

    • Updated approach to ECG interpretation helps in determining STEMI versus other causes of ST elevation.
    • NEW 5-step approach simplifies how to determine non-infarct causes of ST elevation, whether STEMI or STEMI imposter(s).
    • NEW content in Suspecting STEMI chapter includes identifying the J-Point, determining ST elevation, Lead "Views," suspecting STEMI, and additional STEMI ECG changes.
    • NEW content in STEMI Imposters chapter includes the top 5 STEMI imposters, ruling out the top STEMI imposters, and a 5-step analysis.
    • NEW content in STEMI Imposters chapter includes the coronary artery anatomy, right ventricular infarction, posterior infarction, and obtaining additional leads.
    • NEW Practice ECGs chapter is devoted to practicing the 5-step approach.
    • NEW Practice ECGs chapter and 23 new 12-lead practice ECGs help students develop skills in 12-lead ECG recognition.
    • NEW Key Point! boxes call attention to essential information.
    • Updated approach to ECG interpretation helps you determine STEMI versus other causes of ST elevation.
