Print the ECG out on paper, turn it upside down, and look at V2 and V3 through the back. V2 and V3 will look like a “classic” STEMI. This should be approximately the view you would get from additional posterior leads. Read more about Inferior-posterior M.I. With Subtle ST Elevation...
Introduction Isolated posterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) accounts for up to 7% of STEMIs. The diagnosis is suggested by indirect anterior-lead ECG changes. Confirmation requires presence of ST-elevation in posterior-leads (V7–V9). We investigated the ability of hospital doctors ...
Localization of STEMI Localization of STEMI, based on diagnostic ECG leads is important to drive the search of the potentially culprit coronary lesion (Fig. 1), which may give also a rough estimation of short- and long-term risks. These latter are related to the extent of the myocardial musc...
