MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI) or ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION(AMI), commonly known as a heart attack.
COMMON ECG CHANGES ARE..
STEMI (ST ELEVATION MI) - occlusive thrombus - ST elevation (and Q waves) - Cardiac Enzyme elevation - Fibrinolytics beneficial
NSTEMI (NON ST ELEVATION MI) - non-occlusive thrombus - NO ST/Q - Cardiac Enzyme elevation present - Fibrinolytics not beneficial
UNSTABLE ANGINA - non-occlusive thrombus - NO ST/Q - Cardiac Enzyme elevation absent - Fibrinolytics not beneficial
