    Is this new LAD occlusion with ST Elevation superimposed on old QS-wave MI?

    This ECG is from a middle aged male who presented with a choking feeling in his throat, on a background of prior anterior STEMI complicated by cardiac arrest, and ICD.

    This ECG shows QS waves with ST elevation in anterior leads. The T waves were larger than previous, so he was sent to the cath lab, but angiography was normal.

    Two cases of ST Elevation with Terminal T-wave Inversion – do either, neither, or both need reperfusion?

    This ECG is from a man of unknown age who had cardiac stents placed 2 months ago.

    This ECG shows sinus rhythm with QS-waves and ST elevation in V1-V3, with some terminal T-wave inversion. Serial troponins and angiography was normal.

    This is a library of 2394 free, open access, re-usable ECGs from across the web.

    Where did they come from?

    These ECGs were collected from Free Open Access Medical Education (#FOAMed) blogs, with the permission of their authors. You can find out more about each ECG's source by clicking on it.

    Why are they here?

    This is an experiment in digital curation. The idea is to collect resources to increase awareness and accessibility. Over time, more ECGs in the collection will be tagged to make it easier to find them and reused in new interactive quizzes.

    How can I use these ECGs?

    You can use these ECGs for your own learning, teaching or research - as long as you abide by the terms of each ECG's copyright licence as stipulated by the original author.
