🫀 ST-Elevation ≠ STEMI always! 🚨
Convex + merges into T = STEMI ❤️
Coved + inverted T = Brugada 💜
Concave + tall T (ST/T <0.25) = Early Repol 💚
Concave + small T (ST/T >0.25) = Pericarditis 💙

Si das dexametasona a TODOS los edemas cerebrales… te vas a meter en problemas 😅
🔥 Vasogénico → corticoide
💧 Citotóxico → manitol
🧂 Citotóxico por hiponatremia → salina 3%
La clave no es el fármaco… es identificar el tipo de edema.
