Osmania Hospital STEMI model saves 200 lives every month
Hyderabad: A ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) model was earlier introduced at Osmania General Hospital (OGH) and saved the lives of at least 200 people every month. Heart attack patients without access to emergency cardiac care are given STEMI treatment.
An ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a type of heart attack that is more serious and has a greater risk of serious complications and death. It gets its name from how it mainly affects the heart's lower chambers and changes how electrical current travels through them.

A STEMI is a myocardial infarction that causes a distinct pattern on an electrocardiogram (abbreviated either as ECG or EKG). This is a medical test that uses several sensors (usually 10) attached to your skin that can detect your heart's electrical activity. That activity is then displayed as a wave pattern on a paper readout or a digital display. The different parts of the wave are labeled using letters, starting at P and ending at U.
