Guide for use:
CODE 1 ST-segment elevation >= 1 mm (0.1 mV) in >= 2 contiguous limb leads
ST-segment elevation indicates greater than or equal to 1 mm (0.1 mV) elevation in 2 or more contiguous limb leads.
CODE 2 ST-segment elevation >= 2 mm (0.2 mV) in >= 2 contiguous chest leads
ST-segment elevation indicates greater than or equal to 2 mm (0.2 mV) elevation in 2 or more contiguous chest leads.
CODE 3 ST-segment depression >= 0.5 mm (0.05 mV) in >= 2 contiguous leads (includes reciprocal changes)
ST-segment depression of at least 0.5 mm (0.05 mV) in 2 or more contiguous leads (includes reciprocal changes).
CODE 4 T-wave inversion >= 1 mm (0.1 mV)
T-wave inversion of at least 1 mm (0.1 mV) including inverted T waves that are not indicative of acute MI.
CODE 5 Significant Q waves
Q waves refer to the presence of Q waves that are greater than or equal to 0.03 seconds in width and greater than or equal to 1 mm (0.1 mV) in depth in at least 2 contiguous leads.
