Welcome to our podcast, where we dive into the critical world of cardiology and explore a topic that's of paramount importance for paramedic students. Today, we're shining a spotlight on the often subtle, sometimes deceptive, yet incredibly significant issue of STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) mimics.

These impostors can lead to misdiagnoses and mistreatment, potentially with life-altering consequences. Join the Ten Minute Medic, as we unravel the complexities of recognizing these mimics, understanding their impact, and ultimately, saving lives through informed decisions and early interventions. Discover the key to differentiating fact from fiction in the realm of cardiac emergencies.
