Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Checking for myocardial infarction/ischemia is the final step in 12-lead EKG interpretation as it is the most critical condition to detect and requires prompt medical attention. The other steps (checking for atrial abnormalities, axis deviation, ventricular hypertrophy, bundle branch blocks and hemiblocks, and miscellaneous effects) are important but do not necessarily indicate an immediate need for medical intervention.
