✔️ Identify demographic data pertaining to the severity of coronary artery disease and occurrence of acute myocardial infarctions.

✔️ Correctly identify the following normal ECG components: isoelectric line, Q wave, R wave, and ST segment.

✔️ Describe the ECG characteristics of a normal 12 lead ECG.

✔️ Systematically assess and interpret a 12 lead ECG for abnormal patterns of ischemia, injury, and infarction.

✔️ Interpret ST elevation MI (STEMI or acute injury changes).

✔️ Describe potential treatment options for the patient experiencing acute myocardial damage.
