A Bayesian approach to acute coronary occlusion

In the STEMI paradigm, the disease (acute coronary occlusion) is defined and named after one element (ST elevation, without regard to the remainder of the QRST) of one imperfect test (the ECG). This leads to delayed reperfusion for patients with acute coronary occlusion whose ECGs don't meet ST...

Description
Summary:In the STEMI paradigm, the disease (acute coronary occlusion) is defined and named after one element (ST elevation, without regard to the remainder of the QRST) of one imperfect test (the ECG). This leads to delayed reperfusion for patients with acute coronary occlusion whose ECGs don't meet STEMI criteria. In this editorial, we elaborate on the article by Jose Nunes de Alencar Neto about applying Bayesian reasoning to ECG interpretation. The Occlusion MI (OMI) paradigm offers evidencebased advances in ECG interpretation, expert-trained artificial intelligence, and a paradigm shift that incorporates a Bayesian approach to acute coronary occlusion.
