Overview
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a term that all emergency medicine residents learn and commit to memory early on.

In this episode, host Masood Mohammed (@DocMooseEM) chats with Dr. Susy DeMeester (@SusyDemeester) about why ‘STEMI’ misses the mark and what we can do to fix it.
