teaching ECG, I always try to make the ECG interpretation have some practical context for the student. &nbsp;Why study squiggly lines, if they don't mean something to our care of our patients? &nbsp;Even putting a simple scenario (actual or invented) with an ECG can make it more relevant for your students. &nbsp;A series of ECGs taken as the patient undergoes changes, is especially helpful.</p><p>Here, we present six ECGs generously donated to the ECG Guru by&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Jenda Enis Štros. &nbsp;They follow a man through an acute anterior wall M.I., from pre-hospital treatment, the Emergency Department, Cath Lab, thrombosis of his stent, repair, and recovery. &nbsp;In the future, we will be adding other series of ECGs, labelled "Series" to help you find them on the navigation pane.</span></p><p><a style="line-height: 1.538em;"

last in a series of 6 that were donated by&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Jenda Enis Štros showing the evolutionary changes of an M.I. from onset, through spontaneous reperfusion, angioplasty, re-occlusion by thrombus, and recovery. &nbsp;This ECG shows deep precordial T wave inversions, an expected evolutionary change after reperfusion of an occluded artery - in this case, the left anterior descending. &nbsp;The patient has lost some of his QRS amplitude (viable heart muscle), but has not developed pathological Q waves. &nbsp;Pathological Q waves would indicate full-thickness necrosis of the wall, which is usually a permanent injury. &nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">The patient was discharged home with a 45% ejection fraction (60% is ideal), and he had akinesis of part of his anterior wall. &nbsp;This can be permanent or temporary, and followup studies would be needed to evaluate the ongoing health and function of the left ventricle.</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.538em;">Here are links to all six ECGs from this series:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a
