Abstract

The presence of ST-segment elevation in lead III exceeding that of lead II, particularly if combined with ST elevation in lead V1, proved to be a powerful marker for occlusion of the proximal or midportion of the right coronary artery. These findings helped to determine the extent of myocardium at risk in inferior wall myocardial infarction and may further guide the decision to administer thrombolytics.
