Description
An interactive session on the recognition and treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), focusing on the critical importance of the pre-hospital EKG to optimize patient outcomes. We will look at how the focus on door-to-balloon time in acute myocardial infarction is (usually) in the patient's best interest. Examples of EKG's and cardiac catheterization films will be shown.
