I heard of a story of a medic intern doing a 12-lead on someone c/c of a headache only. 12-lead showed STEMI. Perhaps they were really lucky to have caught that?
Time to do some reading on ECG changes in acute Neuro patients. ;)


In my practice any seizure patient without a clear etiology to explain the seizure, gets a 12 lead, especially a first time seizure. The person with long history of epilepsy or the hypoglycemic seizure ... not so much.
