🧠📚Let’s take a deep dive into Myocardial Infarction - STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -COMPLETE blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -STEMIs are diagnosed when the ST segment rises higher than normal 🫀NSTEMI (Non- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -PARTIAL blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -*NSTEMI think NOT a complete block -You may see ST depression or T wave inversion (keep in min

The difference between a STEMI and an NSTEMI (or non-STEMI), is exactly that: a STEMI is an ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and a non-STEMI is a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. NSTEACS is a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, which includes non-STEMI as well as unstable angina. Learn more at https://www.ausmed.com/cpd/courses/cardiac-deterioration | Ausmed
