Calling a STEMI from the field improves outcomes for patients by reducing door-to-balloon time. However, there are a lot of ECG rhythms that can mimic a STEMI.   Calling too many false STEMI activations will drive your cardiologists crazy and cost you credibility. This lecture will teach you how to spot them and avoid calling a false activation while also learning how to pick up the most subtle but real MI's!
