However, they have also increased potential for poor judgment as rushed decisions without investigating complete medical history, as we are pressured to meet the 90 minute "door-to-balloon-time". Not everything in Medicine is cut and dry, or black and white. While on paper the diagnosis of a STEMI is straightforward, in reality it can be challenging. ST-elevation does not always equate to an acute coronary vessel occlusion. We are often faced with mimics of STEMI, which I will term "FEMI", as in 'Fake ST Elevation MI'"--
