Learning Objectives:
At the close of this presentation, participants should be able to -
Demostrate 12 lead ECG placement for visualization of STEMI and NSTEMI AMI in ER
Discuss the importance of proper positioning of leads for visualization accuracy
Explain the bundle branch block presence in 12 lead ECG's performed in ER
