Abstract :
In this study we compare a variety of ECG criteria for predicting the culprit artery in cases with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We also assess the performance of these criteria for patients who did not meet the STEMI criteria although having an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
