Various phases can be seen through ECG wave tracings following a heart attack: - Hyperacute phase begins immediately after a heart attack
- Fully evolved phase starts a few hours to days after a heart attack
- Resolution phase appears a few weeks after a heart attack
- Stabilized chronic phase is the last phase and typically has permanent pathological changes compared to a normal ECG tracing
