Old anterior Infarction, new inferior infarction.

Interpretation by Matthew Schumaecker
EKG edited recorded by Dr. M. Rosengarten, MUHC, 1997

The rhythm is complete (3rd degree) atrioventricular block with a nodal escape and a ventricular rate of 50/minute. There is a small but significant ST elevation inferior leads II, III and avF indicating an acute inferior injury. Deep Q waves in V1-V3 show an anterior infarction which is probably old. The ST elevation in leads V5 and V6 suggest latteral wall acute injury.
