The Electrocardiogram remains a crucial tool in the identification and management of acute myocardial infarction. A detailed analysis of patterns of ST segment elevation may influence decisions regarding the perfusion therapy. This study is undertaken to identify the culprit vessel from ECG in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction and correlate with coronary angiogram.
This study is a prospective study. The study population consisted of 100 patients with STEMI. With inclusion criteria of Adults ≥ 18 years with symptoms of ACS, patients with new myocardial infarction, ST segment elevation of >1mm in Limb leads and >2mm in chest leads and the exclusion criteria includes patients with known history of structural heart disease that could alter ECG interpretation, previous MI patient, patients who have undergone revascularization procedures before ECG recording, individuals who already have a pacemaker.

Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening condition characterized by bleeding within the brain due to elevated blood pressure. Various factors, including gender, comorbidities, hematoma side, volume, and location, may influence the prognosis and treatment outcomes of patients with hypertensive ICH.
This study aims to compare the in-hospital management outcomes of hypertensive ICH patients based on these factors, with a specific focus on the use of tranexamic acid (TXA). By examining these parameters in a prospective manner, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the potential gender-related differences in hypertensive ICH presentation, progression, and prognosticating the outcome.

Abstract:
Stroke remains a significant public health concern, necessitating accurate and timely classification for optimal management and improved patient outcomes. This thesis investigates the correlation between Emergency Room (ER) stroke classifications using the Bamford criteria and neuroimaging, subsequently exploring the impact of these classifications on early and long-term patient outcomes in an urban tertiary hospital.
The study employed a prospective analysis of stroke cases presented to the ER over a specified period, focusing on the application of the Bamford classification system and its integration with neuroimaging findings.
