🚨 Hidden STEMI: Check Posterior Leads

ST depression in V1-V3 on a standard 12-lead? Don't stop there.

This pattern can mask a posterior STEMI.

Action: Request posterior leads V7-V9 immediately.

This catches 15-20% of STEMIs missed on standard 12-lead.

The ECG you don't order is the diagnosis you'll miss.
