(Nimodipine, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrocardiographic assessment of findings that suggest the occurrence of a myocardial infarction.
(Myocardial Infarction ECG Assessment, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrocardiographic finding of ST and T wave changes consistent with impaired myocardial perfusion.
(Myocardial Ischemia by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)
