Her electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm and inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) evidenced by ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. Hemodynamic instability or ST-segment elevation of more than 1 mm in lead V_1 raises the suspicion of right ventricular myocardial ...
January 3, 2012 (Durham, NC) — In an international study, patients discharged after treatment for ST-segment-elevation MI (STEMI) were most likely to return to the hospital within a month if they had multivessel disease or had been treated in the US [1]. Patients in the US had the s...
2. Posterior STEMI, usually associated with occlusion of an anatomically dominant right coronary artery, may present with ST segment depression in V1 to V3 instead of elevation, because the ST elevation vectors are oriented away from (ie, negative in) the anterior chest leads. ECG ...
ST depression in 2 or more precordial leads (V1-4) may indicate transmural posterior injury; multilead ST depression with coexistent ST elevation in lead aVR has been described in patients with left main or proximal LAD occlusion. Hyperacute T-wave changes may be observed in the early phase ...
PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF ST-ELEVATION IN LEADS V1 FOR INFERIOR AND AVR FOR ANTERIOR STEMI UNDERGOING PRIMARY PCI - Canadian Journal of Cardiologydoi:10.1016/j.cjca.2014.07.426Har, B.Wong, J.Bizios, A.Galbraith, D.Southern, D.Zhang, M.
Early recognition of this ECG pattern is crucial to ensure diagnosis and optimal treatment of patients with STEMI, which consist in immediate reperfusion by primary angioplasty.doi:10.1016/j.crvasa.2018.02.008Antonio LippolisDavide EspostiFrancesco Gentile...
ST-segment elevation in anterior leads except V1 lead which caused us to suspect Takotsubo-cardiomyopathy. We confirmed the diagnosis after performing coronary angiography and left ventriculography. Clinicians should suspect Takotsubo-cardiomyopathy from this typical ECG finding.doi:10.14442/jgfm.17.1_105...
Absence of ST-elevation in right precordial leads may be presumably explained by the presence of a large ischemic area distal to mid-LAD near-occlusive stenosis and of a long-wrapping LAD. Complex coronary anatomy and intertwined ischemic areas may underlie apparently discording electrocardiograms....

Delayed resolution of inflammation leads to adverse cardiac remodeling after MI.#Objective:To correlate persistent inflammation and delayed resolution of inflammation with infarct size and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).#Methods and Results:This retrospective study, ...
