The ST depression seen in the frontal precordials is actually a reciprocal change. Keep in mind that in the precordial leads the vector begins (in theory) at...
in general this is typical posterior MI ie R waves v1-v3 (indication of vector change to anterior barring any prior irbbb or RV hypertrophy) and ST ...
By "typical posterior injury pattern" I assume you mean reciprocal ST-depression in the anterior leads? The tall R-waves in lead V2 with the tall, symmetrical...
These are amazing. I've been doing 15 Lead EKG's at my MICU project for about a year and I always get the "why?" debate after. The fact that the typical...
great ecgs, this is a great example of how the ecg correlates to the anatomical picture, you have a RCA occlusion and would expect v1-v3 ecg changes ...
