Abstract
MORENO, Nelson L.. Sgarbossa criteria: is it time for an update?. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.6, pp.294-297. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2015.07.004.
The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in presence of left bundle branch block is a challenging one, and so far Sgarbossa criteria are the only tool available despite the known limitations. A new diagnostic rule can reduce our diagnostic uncertainty and thereby improve patient selection candidates for an early reperfusion, but so far research is needed to validate.
