Most podcasts are about understanding. This emergency medicine podcast is about knowledge recall. Active learning requires your brain to process actively. Can you withstand sitting with the discomfort of being asked a question until you can answer it easily and readily? I promise you won’t be comfortable listening to each episode, but after you withstand the discomfort, your ability to recall, will be far superior than any other passive, listening.

STEMI Mimics: Elevation mnemonic

In this episode, we tackle STEMI mimics—conditions that mimic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction on an EKG but aren’t always a heart attack.

Why’s it critical? Because ST elevation doesn’t always mean STEMI, and misdiagnosis can waste time or miss critical conditions.

ELEVATION

Electrolytes (Hyperkalemia),

Left Bundle Branch Block,

Early Repolarization,

Ventricular Hypertrophy (Left),

Aneurysm (Ventricular),

Thailand (Brugada Syndrome),

Inflammation (Pericarditis),

Osborn J Wave,

Non-Ischemic Vasospasm

We use the ELEVATION mnemonic to guide you through each mimic with clear explanations, repeated key points, and rapid-fire quizzes to lock in your recall.
