STEMI equivalents represent coronary occlusion without meeting the traditional STE criteria and are equally important to recognize in a timely fashion. Emergency physicians must know to involve interventional cardiologists for patients with dynamic ECG changes, persistent ischemic chest pain, hemodynamic instability, and STEMI equivalent patterns that require emergent PCI to minimize.
To start, STEMI equivalents are not ECG rhythms themselves, but findings/patterns on the 12 lead ECG that can give, you as a clinician, the ability to identify a high risk ECG. These rhythms/patterns are considerations for cath lab intervention, or at the very least, require attention regarding progression into an unstable condition.
