Which of the following correctly reflects the ECG indicators of ischemia?
A) Pathologic Q waves, ST-segment elevation
B) ST-segment elevation, T-wave inversion
C) ST-segment depression, T-wave inversion
D) Pathologic Q waves, ST-segment depression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a patient experiencing an acute coronary syndrome, T-wave inversion, which can occur simultaneously with ST-segment elevation, suggests the presence of myocardial ischemia. The development of pathologic Q waves provides evidence that tissue death has occurred. A pathologic Q wave indicates the presence of dead myocardial tissue and subsequently, a loss of electrical activity.
