Preferred Label : ACC/AHA Ischemic ECG Changes;
NCIt related terms : CV ENDPOINTS ISCHEMIC ECG CHANGES;
NCIt definition : An electrocardiographic finding, in the absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)
and left bundle branch block pattern on ECG, of either a) new (or presumed new) ST
elevation at the J point in two contiguous leads with the following cut-points: greater
than or equal to 0.1 mV in all leads other than leads V2-V3 where the following cut
points apply: greater than or equal to 0.2 mV in men age greater than or equal to
40 years, greater than or equal to 0.25 mV in men age greater than 40 years, or greater
than or equal to 0.15 mV in women; or b) new (or presumed new) horizontal or down-sloping
ST depression greater than or equal to 0.05 mV in two contiguous leads, and/or T wave
inversion greater than or equal to 0.1 mV in two contiguous leads with a prominent
R wave, or R/S ratio greater than 1. (Thygesen K, Alpert JS, Jaffe AS, et al.: the
