STEMI
Sgarbossa Criteria
- Evaluation for STEMI in LBBB or paced rhythm
-
Normal: ST-segment discordant with QRS
- QRS associated with ST-segment depression
- QRS associated with (commensurate) ST-segment elevation
- Score ≥ 3 98% specific for MI
Modified Sgarbossa Criteria
- ST:S ratio ≥ 0.25 in any lead
- Presence of any criterion is positive
Other Causes of ST-segment Elevation
Benign Early Repolarization
- Concave ST-segment elevation
- Notch at J-point
- Asymmetric T-waves (steeper descent)
Pericarditis
- Diffuse ST-segment elevation (except aVR)
- PR-segment depression
- Ratio: ST-elevation to T-wave amplitude ≥ 0.25 in V6 suggests pericarditis
Ischemia and Prior Infarcts
Syncope
Other
Atrial Abnormalities
- Normal
- RAA: P-wave amplitude > 2.5mm in inferior leads
- LAA: P-wave duration increased (terminal negative portion >0.04s), amplitude of terminal negative component >1mm below isoelectric line in V1
Left Bundle Branch Block
- QRS duration > 0.12s (3 boxes)
- Broad or notched R-wave with prolonged upstroke in I, aVL, V5, V6
- Associated ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion
- Reciprocal changes in V1, V2 (deep S-wave)
- Possible LAD
