Abstract
In the setting of acute myocardial infarction, the importance of the 12-lead electrocardiogram has increased tremendously. In addition to facilitating diagnosis of acute ischemic syndromes, including acute myocardial infarction, the 12-lead electrocardiogram may provide invaluable assistance in determining which patients are most suitable for thrombolytic therapy, and it may provide information that is useful in prognostic stratification.
