Objectives: To elucidate the involved culprit arteries and proportion of spontaneous arterial recanalization (SAR) in acute lateral wall myocardial infarction (ALWMI) patients Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted outpatient department (OPD) a tertiary care cardiac center from February 2019 to July 2019. Patients meeting selection criteria ALWMI were included. Key angiographic outcomes recorded for each patient. Proportion SAR terms assessed. Results: One hundred fifty two (152) included, out which 81% (124) males. Mean age 54.73 ± 11.03 years. Most (46.4%) presented with single vessel disease. Overall, 89 (59%) showed settled ECG changes. Of them 73 (66%), 8 (33%) (47%) had diagonal artery involvement, 1st obtuse marginal involvement ramus intermedius respectively. Statistical significance (p=0.006) is observed relationship patients. Conclusion: reports arteries. Diagonal (~ 73%) most ALWMI. also highest involvement. tendency more diseases compared double triple
