Did You Know?Did You Know?More than 1.2 million Americans will suffer a heart attack, where about 502,000 of these people will die!340,000 of them in an ER or BEFORE they reach a hospital.
Surviving a heart attack depends on the treatment that is given within the first hour of the heart attack.
Most common reason for treatment delay is patient unawareness.

Medical BackgroundMedical BackgroundECG = Electrocardiogram
Recording of heart’s electrical activity.
Measures rate and regularity.
Used to diagnose diseases.

Heart attack(Myocardial Infarction)
An event that results in permanent damage to the heart.
myocardium = heart muscle.
infarct = die.
Medical Background Medical Background (cont.)(cont.)
Q-waves and inverted T-waves are two diagnostic wave forms seen in old heart attacks and new heart attacks respectively.
88
ST-Elevation (STEMI)Elevation of ST-segment relative to PR or TP segment.
ST-elevation is a sign for coming heart attack (acute myocardial infarction).
Short PR interval - very difficult for computer algorithms to find the isoelectric reference level.
