Spiked Helmet Sign or STS, is a ECG sign?

Louis said:
Apparently, this is an ECG sign that is not very well explored. I hope it's not too severe! Can't have the word Pickelhaube striking fear into people's minds!

I know this sign, Louis, and I had already posted a note about it on the forum. The original publication did not mention it as being "ominous", though, and, principally, had illustrated it with a real Pickelhaube, not a fake like here... I will try to retrieve it.
This being said, Circulation is one of the top journals in the field.
Thank you for posting this.

Pickelhauben, straight from the heart

Did you know that a while ago, spiked helmets made their way to clinical cardiology?.. It was observed that in some patients with severe conditions, a modification of the ST segment (a segment of the electrocardiogram related to ventricular function) gives the ECG a dome-and-spike appearance...

My apologies I didn't see your first post! I was just looking at ECG signs and stumbled across the article.
 
No apologies, Louis! Great that you could find this recent publication. I had missed it.
And I had forgotten that the beautiful example shown is from Tony's cupboard...
