EKG Wisdom with Dr. Steve Smith

Ridgeview Podcast: CME Series

In this podcast, Dr. Steve Smith - an emergency medicine physician with Hennepin Healthcare and full faculty professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Minnesota, discusses OMI (occlusion myocardial infarction) and NOMI (non-occlusion myocardial infarction) matrix, along with the importance of proper ECG interpretation and how this impacts the management of acute coronary syndrome. Dr. Smith also talks about STEMI and NSTEMI and the use (or the replacement) of these terms.

Enjoy the podcast.

Objectives:Upon completion of this podcast, participants should be able to:

• Express that acute coronary occlusion must be diagnosed and treated emergently.
• Recognize that ST elevation on the EKG is a very poor way of diagnosing occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI).
• Recognize that the entire QRST wave on the EKG is important for the diagnosis of occlusion mycardial infarction (OMI).
• Identify when other modalities (other than the EKG) may be needed to make a diagnosis of acute coroanary occlusion (OMI).
• Recognize that deep convolutional neural networks are the future of EKG diagnosis of acute coronary occlusion.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation criteria, standards and policies of the Minnesota Medical Association (MMA). Ridgeview is accredited by the Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
