The<unk><unk>  in patients who have suspected acute myocardial infarction may reveal arrhythmia, evidence of heart failure, a new murmur, or cardiovascular compromise and shock. A systems focused<unk>  is probably most appropriate at the time of presentation so as to not delay decisions regarding and implementation of reperfusion therapy.  Following these initial stages of management, a more through<unk>  is then warranted. Throughout the patient's course, detailed serial<unk> s should be performed in an effort to remain vigilant for the development of mechanical complications of acute MI. The approach to the<unk><unk>  in the patient with ST elevation MI is divided into two phases: The initial<unk><unk>  and then the more thorough<unk>  of the patient after the initial assessment and treatment of the patient.
