摘要：

The purpose of this study was to determine paramedics' true-positive rate of ST elevation acute myocardial infarction diagnosis. The paramedics' true-positive rate was 49% versus 88% by expert cardiologists (p=0.010), with the difference primarily due to electrocardiograms with confounding factors such as bundle branch block, ventricular hypertrophy, and previous acute myocardial infarction.
