Emedinews:Makesure:A patient with chest pain and who had normal ECG died half an hour later.


Situation: A patient  with chest pain and who had normal ECG died half an hour later.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was acute MI not suspected?
Lesson: Make sure all patients of chest pain are observed for 12 hours. ECG can be normal in acute heart attack for up to six hours.
