This ECG is a good example of an inferior wall M.I. that was confirmed and treated in the cath lab. The ST segments are elevated in Leads II, III, and aVF, but the amount of elevation may look subtle to some. When the amount of elevation seems small, what other signs can help us...
Patients with ST elevation >0.05 mV or pathologic Q wave in the posterior leads, as well as those with specific changes indicating posterior MI in V1-V2, were evaluated by echocardiography in terms of wall motion abnormalities. All data were analyzed using SPSS and p<0.05 were considered ...
Patients withchest paincaused by myocardial infarction are candidates forreperfusion therapy, either by primary PCI or byfibrinolytic therapy, if they present within 12 (and possibly up to 24) hours of symptom onset and if the following ECG changes are present: new ST-segment elevation in two co...
The ablation strategy for persistent AF adds linear ablation of the mitral isthmus (MI) and electrical isolation of left atrial (LA) posterior wall (PW) using ablation index (AI)-guided high-power ablation (no fragmented potential ablation was performed at the index procedure) was not reported....
A 60 year old woman with 3 hours of chest pain. Acute posterior myocardial infarction (hyperacute) the mirror image of acute injury in leads V1 - 3 (fully evolved) tall R wave, tall upright T wave in leads V1 -3 usually associated with inferior and/or lateral wall MI...

posterior cranial fossa haemorrhageWithout significant coronary artery stenosis, ischemic ECG changes including ST segment elevation, segmental wall abnormality & elevated serum cardiac specific markers may develop after central nervous system injuries. Misdiagnosing these patients as acute MI may result in ...
