A New ECG Sign of Proximal LAD Occlusion
Abstract
To the Editor: Recognition of characteristic changes in an electrocardiogram (ECG) that are associated with acute occlusion of a coronary artery guides decisions regarding immediate reperfusion therapy.1–3 Working from our primary database of percutaneous coronary interventions, which includes records of the ambulance, or admission, ECG (performed on first medical contact with the patient), the preprocedural ECG, and the coronary angiogram, we describe a new ECG pattern without ST-segment elevation that signifies occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Instead of the signature ST-segment elevation, the ST segment showed a 1- to 3-mm upsloping ST-segment depression at . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
