Learn Rapid STEMI ID
ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction, STEMI heart attack, occurs when there is a prolonged period of blocked blood supply to the heart. The damage can be severe as it affects a large area of the heart muscle. However, thousands of patients with STEMI fail to receive critical treatment in a timely fashion, some not receiving the care they need at all. As a result, the American Heart Association/Laerdal Medical Alliance has created Learn Rapid STEMI ID™ to better prepare healthcare professionals when dealing with this kind of heart attack.
