چکیده

A 52-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia presented to our institution with a 4-hour history of severe, compressing chest pain. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showed STelevation involving leads I and aVL, while the anterior precordial leads were unremarkable (Fig 1a). The provisional diagnosis was a non–high-risk high-lateral myocardial infarction (MI) due to diagonal artery or left circumflex artery (LCx) occlusion.

Acute myocardial infarction entailing ST-segment elevation in lead aVL: electrocardiographic differentiation among occlusion of the left anterior descending, first diagonal, and first obtuse marginal coronary arteries.

Acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation in lead aVL may represent involvement of the first diagonal or the first obtuse marginal branch. This study assesses the correlation among different electrocardiographic patterns of acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation in aVL and the site of the infarct-related artery occlusion. Patients who underwent coronary angiography within 14 days of ...

The relation of ST segment deviations in 12-lead conventional Electrocardiogram, right and posterior leadswith the site of oc-clusion in acute inferior myocardial infarction

  Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...

A bypass case due to an acute inferior myocardial infarction caused by vascular occlusion of the left subclavian artery and left anterior descending artery

ST segment elevation is the most common electrocardiographic finding in acute myocardial infarction. ST elevation in chest leads generally represents left anterior descending artery occlusion, while elevation in DII and III, and aVF represents right coronary and circumflex artery occlusion. A female patient aged 66 years was admitted to our emergency service with ST elevation in leads DIII and ...

Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in leads V1 or aVL. A predictor of anterior myocardial ischemia and left anterior descending coronary artery disease.

Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in leads V1 and/or aVL in the absence of anterior Q waves occurred in 46 of 190 patients (24%) who underwent 12-lead exercise electrocardiography with thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging and coronary arteriography. Significant left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) disease was present in 38 of 46 patients (83%) with V1/aVL ST evaluation and in...

Electrocardiographic characteristics of posterior myocardial infarction in comparison to angiographic findings

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiac cell death following the imbalance of supply and demand. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a diagnostic test for MI and can help the clinicians to estimate the severity and size of infarction, to suggest the artery related to the infarct and localize the pathology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of ECG in posterior MI (PMI...
