What all the abbreviations/Terms mean:

ST Elevation: When the ST segment is elevated over the isolelectric line (the resting midline)

SOB: Shortness of Breath

Diaphoresis: Excessive Sweating

N/V: Nausea/Vomiting

Baseline VS: Baseline vital signs

CAD: Coronary Artery Disease

CHF: Congestive Heart Failure

HTN: Hypertension

PAD: Peripheral Artery Disease

CVD: Cardiovascular Disease

Dyslipidemia: High Blood Cholesterol

DM: Diabetes M.

BNP: Basic natriuretic peptide (Cardiac Damage Marker)

PCXR: Portable Chest X-ray

ISTAT: Portable assay machine for blood and other biological samples

Troponin: Cardiac Damage Marker

Cx8

ABG: Arterial Blood Gas

INR: Prothrombin time( international normalized ratio), measures the extrinsic clotting pathway

CBC: Complete Blood Cell count

ACS: Acute Coronary Syndrome

STEMI: ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

LBBB: Left Bundle Branch Block

TIMI: Thrombosis in Myocardial Infarction

Lopressor: metoprolol tartrate USP a selective β-blocker

GPII: glycoprotein IIb/IIIa is an integrin complex found on platelets; aids in platelet activation
