Check heart attack
I can see this is a 12-lead ECG for a patient named "Goutam Gurin" (36/m), printed on 2026/06/08. Let me analyze it carefully for signs of myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Reading File
Now let me search the medical library for ECG interpretation of MI and analyze the ECG in parallel.

I've analyzed the ECG carefully. Here is my detailed interpretation:
ECG Analysis - Goutam Gurin, 36M, dated 08/06/26
Technical details: 10 mm/mV, 25 mm/s, standard 12-lead ECG
Rhythm & Rate
- Rhythm: Regular sinus rhythm
- Heart rate: Approximately 75-85 bpm (estimated from the strip)
- P waves: Present and upright in lead I - normal axis
- PR interval: Appears normal (~160-180 ms)
- QRS: Narrow, no bundle branch block pattern
Critical Findings - Lead-by-Lead Analysis
| Lead Group | Finding |
|---|---|
| I, aVL | QRS morphology appears normal; no significant ST changes visible |
| II, III, aVF | Inferior leads - QRS complexes present; no obvious ST elevation in inferior leads |
| V1 | Small R wave, normal appearance |
| V2 | Transition zone - appears normal |
| V3-V4 | Precordial leads - no obvious hyperacute T waves or ST elevation clearly identifiable |
| V5-V6 | Lateral leads - appear relatively normal |
| aVR | Appears normal |
Assessment: No Classic STEMI Pattern Visible
Based on careful review of this ECG:
- No ST segment elevation in 2 or more contiguous leads (which would define STEMI)
- No reciprocal ST depression clearly seen
- No hyperacute (tall, peaked) T waves in the precordial leads
- No pathological Q waves (wide, deep Q waves) suggesting established infarction
- No LBBB (new left bundle branch block can be a STEMI equivalent)
Important Caveats
This ECG does NOT show clear, classic signs of an acute STEMI (heart attack).
However, please note the following:
-
Image quality and orientation - The ECG is photographed at an angle and is slightly rotated, making precise measurement of ST segments difficult. A cardiologist reading the original paper trace would be more accurate.
-
NSTEMI cannot be excluded by ECG alone - A Non-ST Elevation MI can present with a completely normal ECG. If the patient has chest pain, breathlessness, sweating, or jaw/arm pain, blood troponin levels are mandatory to rule out NSTEMI.
-
Subtle findings - Some subtle ST depression or T-wave inversions can be missed in a photo-based review.
-
Rate and rhythm - The rhythm appears regular and sinus, which is reassuring.
Clinical Recommendation
| Action | Priority |
|---|---|
| Troponin I or T (serial, at 0h and 3h) | Mandatory if symptoms present |
| Repeat ECG in 15-30 min if symptoms ongoing | High priority |
| Clinical assessment - symptoms, risk factors | Essential |
| Cardiology referral if any doubt | Recommended |
