Sharkfin STEMI: Emergency Medicine Perspectives

Created using ChatSlide

This lecture introduces Sharkfin STEMI as a rare but ominous ECG pattern associated with large transmural infarction, cardiogenic shock, and high mortality. Learners will identify its fused QRS-ST-T triangular morphology, understand its clinical significance, differentiate it from mimics, and apply emergency management steps including rapid cath lab activation, shock preparation, serial ECG assessment, and early escalation of hemodynamic support.
