Variation of recognising atypical ECG patterns of occlusion myocardial infarction among emergency physicians in Egypt (E-Poster Presentations)
Subject
atypical ECG patterns of occlusion myocardial infarction, emergency physicians in Egypt
Description
Coronary artery disease is the foremost single cause of mortality and loss of Disability Adjusted Life Years globally. It is
the third leading cause of mortality worldwide and is associated with 17.8 million deaths annually. This study aims to identify the
degree of familiarity of Egyptian emergency physicians with different levels of training and experience with atypical ECG patterns
associated with occlusive myocardial infarction not meeting classic ST elevation myocardial
infarction criteria.
A cross-sectional survey screening study was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023. This study was carried out on a sample of
301 physicians dealing with patients presenting by chest pain in particular Emergency physicians, also other specialities
as Cardiologists, Internal medicine / Acute medicine, General Practice or Family medicine, Anaesthesia and Intensive care
physicians.
All candidates were Of both genders, With varying levels of experience and post-graduate clinical training
We generated our survey questionnaire which included 10 ECG patterns, classified into 4 main groups of occlusive and non
occlusive myocardial infarction ECGs and normal ECG as control
After generation of the questionnaire, validation was activated through 2 steps, initially, the questionnaire was reviewed by 2
experts cardiologists supervising this thesis to guarantee its consistency and validity. Final form was disseminated among groups
of target population digitally and responses were collected automatically and anonymously. Responses were collected, and
multiple responses were not allowed.
A total of 301 physicians in Egypt were enrolled in our study. Regarding gender distribution, 170 (56.5%) males, and 131(43.5%)
females. The male to female ratio was 1.3:1. The most recognized ECG strip in the first 4 ECGs was ECG 1 (inferiorSTEMI), and the
least recognized ECG strip in the control group was ECG 9 (acute pericarditis). The average score of true recognition of the first
6 ECG patterns, which means PCI activation, was 3.82± 1.33 (range 1 to 6). A cardiologist scored 0.91 higher than an emergency
medicine physician (P < 0.01). A physician with a medical doctorate scored higher than bachelor’s degree (P < 0.01).
We can conclude that cardiologists with long years of experience and/or candidates who had medical doctorate degree were the
most who truly recognized the ECG patterns with occlusive myocardial infarction.
Finally, we can state that the good points in our research were that it was national research, with different medical experiences
with different specialties, a large scale of participants and variability of presentations
