CV Podcast: ECG Errors That Lead To Missing Acute Coronary Occlusion

In this episode of the "Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME" podcast, Anthony Kashou, M.D., and Ken Grauer, M.D., delve into critical aspects of 12-lead ECG interpretation and its implications for diagnosing acute ischemia, particularly acute coronary occlusion. They discuss the concept of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI), emphasizing appreciation of how the STEMI paradigm misses at least 30% of acute coronary occlusions that can be picked up by using the OMI paradigm.

Topics discussed:

• Key initiatives or approaches to introduce in the ECG lab.
• Integrating the ECG lab with other departments for improved cardiac care.
• Milestones and breakthroughs in ECG diagnostics.
