Template:Sgarbossa Criteria
Original Criteria
≥3 points = 98% probability of STEMI[1]
- ST elevation ≥1 mm in a lead with upward QRS complex (concordant) - 5 points
- ST depression ≥1 mm in lead V1, V2, or V3 - 3 points
- ST elevation ≥5 mm in a lead with downward QRS complex (discordant) - 2 points
Smith's modification[2]
- Changes the 3rd rule of original Sgarbossa's Criteria to be ST depression OR elevation discordant with the QRS complex and with a magnitude of at least 25% of the QRS
- Increases Sn from 52% → 91% at the expense of reducing Sp from 98% → 90%
