On this episode Dave is joined by Dr. Jerry W. Jones, MD FACEP FAAEM, to discuss why ST elevation is not always an infarction. Dr. Jones will highlight why we need to think about morphology and shape when interpreting ECGs and why reciprocal changes are just as important as the primary changes and more!
