🚑💔 STEMI vs NSTEMI: What’s the Difference? 💥❤️‍🩹 Quick cardiac crash course for everyone! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ ✨ STEMI 🔥 Complete blockage of a coronary artery 📈 Clear ST-segment elevation ⏱️ Time = muscle! Urgent reperfusion needed 💣 Higher mortality risk ❤️‍🔥 Needs FAST action! ✨ NSTEMI ⚠️ Partial blockage 📉 No ST elevation, but positive cardiac markers 🔍 Often more subtle 🛠️ Requires close monitoring & early intervention ❤️ Not as dramatic — but still serious! 👉 Both are acute coronary synd

The difference between a STEMI and an NSTEMI (or non-STEMI), is exactly that: a STEMI is an ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and a non-STEMI is a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. NSTEACS is a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, which includes non-STEMI as well as unstable angina. Learn more at https://www.ausmed.com/cpd/courses/cardiac-deterioration | Ausmed

🧠📚Let’s take a deep dive into Myocardial Infarction - STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -COMPLETE blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -STEMIs are diagnosed when the ST segment rises higher than normal 🫀NSTEMI (Non- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -PARTIAL blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -*NSTEMI think NOT a complete block -You may see ST depression or T wave inversion (keep in min
