Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not unusual in daily practice. Since a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial for the detection of AMI, a systematic algorithm to strengthen ECG interpretation may have important implications for improving diagnosis. ⋯ The DLM may serve as a timely, objective and precise diagnostic decision support tool to assist emergency medical system-based networks and frontline physicians in detecting AMI and subsequently initiating reperfusion therapy.
