AB When  a  patient  is  presented  at  the  emergency  department  or  to  a  mobile  emergency  system  with  acute  chest  pain,  the  first  assessment  includes  a  standard  12-lead  electrocardiogram  (ECG).  When  chest  pain  is  caused  by  an  acute  coronary  occlusion,  the  initial  ECG  can  show  ST-segment  elevation,  which  meets  the  criteria  that  indicate  an  ST-segment  elevation  myocardial  infarction  (STEMI).  All  five  patients  included  in  this  chapter  presented  with  first-time  STEMI  due  to  an  occluded  left  anterior  descending  coronary  artery  as  documented  by  emergency  coronary  angiography  (Fig.  21–1).
