I am a new cardiac nurse and I work on an intervention floor where I get people back from cardiac caths and I also have people who have had MI's. I am looking for some type of table or chart or something like that that shows locations and types of mi's. I have printed some pictures of the heart and coronary arteries and what arteries supply what parts of the heart. But I still feel like I need more information. Can anyone direct me to a website that has this information in BLACK AND WHITE?

Thanks!

Hope this helps.

Have you taken 12 lead ECG yet? A key point in this class is the different MIs, how they present on the ECG, and the specific arteries involved. 12 lead is a good place to start building your knowledge around the different MIs.

Funny - I found a RN Magazine from 02 today that I hadn't read yet and was reading about types of MI's . . .it had a chart too. I don't know if you can look at archives of the magazine but it was in May 2002 and called "Left vs. Right ventricular MI: Which is it?" by Kimberley Litton.
