Posterior Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

🫀STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀 The main difference here involves the ST segment of a cardiac rhythm strip. –STEMI– ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction indicates a COMPLETE vessel occlusion which has triggered an MI or heart attack. –NSTEMI– (also often referred to as a NON-STEMI) This indicates that there is likely a PARTIAL occlusion. We may also see ST depression or T wave inversion with this type of MI. 🫀For both, cardiac biomarkers and troponin levels will be increased, patients may experience chest
