AB In  the  last  chapter  we  learned  about  the  dramatic  ECG  findings  of  acute  ST  elevation  myocardial  infarction  (STEMI).  We  also  reviewed  other  ischemic  syndromes  that  produce  alterations  of  the  ST  segment  and  T  wave.  But  not  every  case  of  ST  segment  elevation  represents  an  acute  myocardial  infarction.  In  this  chapter,  we’ll  examine  the  many  important  conditions  that  can  affect  the  ST  segment,  first  focusing  on  items  that  produce  ST  segment  elevation,  imitating  the  findings  of  acute  MI.  At  the  end  of  the  chapter,  we’ll  describe  some  infarction  imitators  that  do  not  involve  ST  segment  elevation.
