Chest pain! ECG! No brainer! The ED Physician most notably orders and interprets the ECG in the evaluation of patients with suspected life-threatening cardiac pathology, namely STEMI. There are several scenarios in which the ECG may be used as a primary diagnostic tool for non-myocardial infarction medical conditions, including but not limited to, metabolic disorders, drug toxicity, syncope, and complications of valvular disease. This presentation will evaluate clinical scenarios in which the diagnosis was actually “buried in the ECG”. This session was recorded on Sunday, April 28, 2024 at the 30th Annual
