ST segment elevation quite commonly occurs, but isn't a necessary requirement. Sometimes EKG changes are very subtle, or even nonexistent, initially.
"Nil acute" on an ECG result indicates that there are no acute changes or abnormalities detected at the time of the reading. This suggests that there are no signs of recent myocardial infarction (heart attack), ischemia, or other urgent cardiac issues. Essentially, the heart's electrical activity appears normal and stable at that moment.
AMI = Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attack)
His death was the result of acute heart failure
The result "nil acute" on an ECG test indicates that there are no signs of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction, meaning there are no immediate abnormalities that suggest a heart attack or other urgent cardiac issues. It suggests the heart's electrical activity appears normal at the time of the test. However, it is important to consider this result in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic information. Always consult a healthcare professional for interpretation in the context of individual health.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
A temporary pacing system is sometimes recommended for patients who are experiencing irregular heartbeats as a result of a recent heart attack or other acute medical condition.
In the context of an ECG (electrocardiogram), "acute" typically refers to a sudden onset of changes in the heart's electrical activity that may indicate a new or recent cardiac event, such as a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Acute changes can include the presence of ST-segment elevation or depression, T-wave inversions, or the development of new Q waves. These findings often require immediate medical attention to assess and manage the underlying condition effectively.
MI (myocardial infarction) Acute Myocardial Infarction, or AMI.
No. If someone gets a heart attack during anal sex, it's because their heart is in a bad shape.
How about cocaine. It causes vaso-constriction of blood vessels in your body including vessels in your heart, which can result in a heart attack.
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is the result of a blockage in an artery which feeds the heart, so the heart becomes starved for oxygen.
Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates, Aspirin Used in the acute phase of a heart attack.
