摘要

Purpose of the Review

The traditional ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)/ Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) classification of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) overlooks a subset of high-risk patients with Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (OMI), leading to delays in critical reperfusion therapy. This review reevaluates the STEMI paradigm by highlighting the limitations of electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria and emphasizing the OMI/NOMI framework.

Recent Findings

Evidence suggests that many OMI cases lack ST-segment elevation, resulting in misclassification and suboptimal treatment. High-risk ECG features such as hyperacute T-waves, terminal QRS distortion, and reciprocal changes are essential for early OMI identification. Advanced imaging, biomarkers, and artificial intelligence-driven ECG interpretation further enhance diagnostic accuracy. By incorporating OMI criteria into clinical guidelines, healthcare providers can reduce missed diagnoses and improve patient outcomes.

Summary

The shift from a binary STEMI/NSTEMI approach to a physiologically driven OMI/NOMI model ensures timely intervention, minimizes infarct size, and enhances long-term survival. Future research should focus on refining diagnostic tools and integrating AI in ACS management.
