The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial for diagnosing acute coronary syndromes. This review highlights the essential role of ECG in managing these critical cardiac events.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Technological advancements have impacted many diagnostic fields.
  • The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remains a cornerstone in cardiac diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of the 12-lead ECG in acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
  • To emphasize the importance of ECG in the early identification and management of ACS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on ECG utilization in ACS.
  • Analysis of current guidelines and clinical practices.

Main Results:

  • The 12-lead ECG is fundamental for the initial assessment of ACS.
  • ECG findings guide immediate therapeutic decisions and patient stratification.
