🧠📚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
