Some Basic ECG Teaching Points On Myocardial Ischemia From Dr. Smith’s Blog

This post contains some basic ECG teaching points (graphics) on myocardial ischema from the Teaching Images Page of Dr. Smith’s ECG blog:

  • The OMI [Occlusive Myocardial Infarction] Progression on ECG
  • Differentiation of Anterior ST Depression: Posterior OMI or Global Supply/Demand Mismatch?
  • The Two ECG Phenotypes of Ischemia
    • Occlusion MI (OMI) = Acute Coronary Occlusion
    • Severe Global Demand-Mismatch Ischemia
  • ECG Leads And Myocardial Territories

Note to my readers: This blog and its posts are simply my study notes. I create them because the process helps me remember material I have reviewed. All clinicians* will benefit from reviewing Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog.

At the Teaching Images post of you will want to carefully review the entire side bar of the post. It contains links to very valuable teaching resources on the electrocardiogram.

This same side bar is appended to every one of Dr. Smith’s posts.

The side bar is very long, much longer than the posts and has great additional resources.

The sidebar (present on every post) features recommendations books related to Emergency Medicine that are relevant to all primary care physicians.

The sidebar (present on every post) contains a great list of popular posts.

The sidebar  (present on every post) contains an Index (called Labels) that functions as a complete atlas of electrocardiographic abnormalities.

I went ahead and copied some of the images from the Teaching Images page to help fix those images in my mind:
