ST-Segment Depression in Leads I and aVL: Artifactual or Pathophysiological Findings?

Acute Orthotopic Heart Transplantation Rejection With ST-Segment Elevation in Leads I and aVL.

ST-segment elevation in leads I and aVL predicts short-term prognosis in acute anterior wall myocardial infarction.

Our study demonstrates that ST-segment elevation in both leads I and aVL noted on admission for an anterior acute myocardial infarction does portend a worse short-term survival. Independent predictors of short-term prognosis in an anterior acute myocardial infarction include ST elevation in both leads I and aVL, advanced age, female gender, left ventricular failure, and malignant arrhythmias.

Typical pericarditis ECG findings after falling from height. The PR segment depression or ST segment elevation?

Acute pericarditis (AP) following blunt thoracic trauma is rare and difficult to diagnosis. A 43-year-old man with offered to the emergency department (ED) after falling from height before a week ago. The ECG performed in the ED was abnormal, ECG revealed PR segment depression in leads DII, DIII, aVF, and V3-6 and a preliminary diagnosis of acute inferolateral STEMI was presumed. Patients have ...

Prognostic significance of ST segment depression in lateral leads I, aVL, V5 and V6 on the admission electrocardiogram in patients with a first acute myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation.

OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the short-term prognostic value of the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with a first acute myocardial infarction (MI) without ST segment elevation. BACKGROUND ST segment depression on hospital admission predicts a worse outcome in patients with a first acute MI, but the prognostic information provided by the location of ST segment depression re...

Electrocardiographic Screening of Emphysema: Lead aVL or Leads III and I?

Sir, the recent report on “Quality Assessment of Medical Education at Faculty of Medicine of Sarajevo University” is very interesting (1). It is interesting that the new system seems to be challenging and can result in satisfaction of the students and outcome. Indeed, the continuous assessment of the medical education and curriculum is needed. This is according to the concept of continuous qual...
