I have seen literature on it but can't find it right now.<br />Interesting, huh?<br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027289511840815536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-65106047122192998822015-11-09T15:18:42.101-06:002015-11-09T15:18:42.101-06:00Hey Steve,

I have found it to be very useful to treat PVCs just as I treat LBBB or paced beats: concordant ST segments or proportionally excessively discordant (ST/S ratio > 0.25) are indicative of STEMI.Steve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027289511840815536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-16271457651003066062012-08-13T14:01:35.330-05:002012-08-13T14:01:35.330-05:00how reliable and uniform are ST deviations in PVCs...how reliable and uniform are ST deviations in PVCs if we use them to determine STEMI? is there some sort of standard methodology, the way we (for the most part) do with normal beats? or in this case, were the PVCs used to augment what you already saw in the normal beats?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895711321056105465noreply@blogger.com
