Abstract
- A new or presumably new left bundle branch block along with ischemic symptoms has traditionally been considered an electrocardiographic equivalent of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, which should be brought to emergent reperfusion.

Below we detail these criteria, their main problems and the advantages they have shown.<br /> (Copyright: © 2019 Permanyer.)
