Answer: ECG of the Week
11 November 2013
Answer: Acute anterolateral MI
Acute anterolateral MI is recongnized by ST segment elevation in leads I, aVL and the precordial leads overlying the anterior and lateral surfaces of the heart (V3 - V6). Generally speaking, the more significant the ST elevation , the more severe the infarction. The lack of reciprocal ST changes in the inferior leads made this one a little difficult.
The take away about this ECG, if you see ST Elevation like this...Let someone Know!!
As for the winner of this week’s gift card, I need to
confer with the “judges” for a ruling about this one.
