  • Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), particularly STEMI, is a major global health issue, and this study introduces a deep learning AI method for precise diagnosis of STEMI using 12-lead ECG data.
  • The AI model was validated with a database of 888 MI patients, achieving high accuracy in detecting ST-segment elevation and differentiating between STEMI and NSTEMI with impressive AUROC and AUPRC scores.
  • The findings indicate that the integration of AI into clinical ECG diagnostics can significantly enhance the timely treatment and outcomes for STEMI patients, underscoring the potential of AI in healthcare.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of death from cardiovascular diseases worldwide, with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) representing a severe form of ACS that exhibits high prevalence and mortality rates. This study proposes a new method for accurately diagnosing STEMI and categorizing the infarction area in detail, based on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data using a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm.

Methods: Utilizing an ECG database consisting of 888 myocardial infarction (MI) patients, this study enhanced the generalization ability of the AI model through five-fold cross-validation. The developed ST-segment elevation (STE) detector accurately identified STE across all 12 leads, which is a crucial indicator for the clinical ECG diagnosis of STEMI. This detector was employed in the AI model to differentiate between STEMI and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Results: In the process of distinguishing between STEMI and NSTEMI, the average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.939, and the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) was 0.977, demonstrating significant results. Furthermore, this detector exhibited the ability to accurately differentiate between various infarction territories in the ECG, including anterior myocardial infarction (AMI), inferior myocardial infarction (IMI), lateral myocardial infarction (LMI), and suspected left main disease.

Discussion: These results suggest that integrating clinical domains into AI technology for ECG diagnosis can play a crucial role in the rapid treatment and improved prognosis of STEMI patients. This study provides an innovative approach for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and contributes to enhancing the practical applicability of AI-based diagnostic tools in clinical settings.

We present a case of a 52-year-old male with no known past medical history who presented to an outside hospital with acute chest pain. Initial workup revealed anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for which the patient was transferred to our facility for emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the patient's hospital course revealed numerous confounding pathologies that can also present as STEMI, including transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) abnormalities consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) as well as myocardial bridging presenting as post-PCI STEMI in the setting of nitroglycerin use.

The guide extension-facilitated ostial stenting (GEST) technique uses a guide extension catheter (GEC) to improve stent delivery during primary coronary angioplasty (PCI). GECs are used for stent delivery into the coronary arteries of patients with difficult anatomy due to tortuosity, calcification, or chronic total occlusion (CTO) vessels. Stent and balloon placement has become challenging in patients with increasing lesion complexity due to tortuosity, vessel morphology, length of the lesion, and respiratory movements.

Background: The Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Acute Myocardial Infarction Care (MIMIC) was developed to increase uptake of evidence-based care for acute myocardial infarction in Tanzania. MIMIC consists of five components: triage cards, pocket cards, an online training module, patient educational pamphlets, and clinical champions. Our aim was to determine the acceptability and feasibility of this intervention among emergency department (ED) providers in Tanzania.

Background: This research aimed to investigate the clinical features exhibited by individuals diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and to compare the prognostic outcomes of different treatment modalities.

Methods: A retrospective study on a cohort of 200 patients who were diagnosed with AMI complicated by VSR at a specialized medical facility from 2018 to 2023 was conducted. The patients were categorized into 3 different treatment groups: group A received medical management, group B underwent surgical repair, and group C underwent percutaneous device closure.
