Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction and Ischemia during Cardiac Pacing

      The ECG diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia in pacemaker patients can be challenging. Many of the criteria are insensitive, but the diagnosis can be made in a limited number of cases because of the high specificity of some of the criteria.
