  • An explanation of the pathophysiology underlying the ST elevation/depression that occurs in STEMI and NSTEMI. I'm a first year medical student so take my explanation with a grain of aspirin and comment if you notice any inaccuracies.
    Thanks for watching!

    Fast or slow, it's a great video. Congratulations. Some people come here thinking that watching this will make them learn, but this is truly about understanding or completing something that they should've checked out (studied) before. Reading, drawing, thinking, listening, repeating. It all makes a part of the same learning process. Would help a lot to speak about the whole potencial of cells (specially myocardium functional cell structure) before. Maybe another small video. Nice work.

      It is not measuring the charge on the outer myocardium. It is measuring the voltage difference across two electrodes. If the depol wave (current) moves towards the measuring electrode (+), you will see a positive voltage.

    It's nice to see a medical student considering physiology at the level of the cell, and down to the ATPase pumps, in discussing ECG anomalies. I genuinely doubt most interns or resies would have a grasp of the physiology like this. Which uni you at?

    Btw the upward and downward shift in the baseline is because the isoelectric line is made from the electrodes first recording of depolarization, prior to the SA node. In other words, the first wave of depolarization, is where the isoelectric line begins.

    Why would the baseline shift downwards or upwards so early, if atrial depolarisation is intact? The ischaemic tissue is in the ventricles and not the atriums. One would expect that the isoelectric line stays there where the true baseline is, at least for the P wave..

    • @jackwsurfs
      @jackwsurfs  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Good question. I agree the ventricles most often infarct, so we would expect atrial depolarisation to be unaffected. To answer your question, the ST-segment changes occur following tissue infarction, thus shortly after the patient becomes symptomatic and most likely before we conduct an ECG. Now, each electrode records vectors moving though a specific plane of the heart, this plane will transverse both ventricle and atrium. If we have infarcted tissue in the ventricles, this will create a positive vector within the plane of the electrode. Because this vector is constant throughout the cardiac cycle, this constant deflection translates to a shifted baseline which affects the entire tracing. So even if the P wave itself is unaffected, the baseline upon which it is recorded will be affected.
      This is my understanding, would you agree?

      p,q,r,s,t are the corralating entities for point and segment indicator references. The P wave represents Rt. Atrial anatomically & Rt. atrial depolarization ( electrical activity of the SA ) with each of the subsiquent heart manifestations occuring sequentially ...this you will find, will eventually place the S and following T near the end of that sequence. Terminally the location of the ST segment correspondence is to the ventricular repolarazation electrically and the stemi presented in this case was in the left ventricular wall.
