Inferior-anterior infarction

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

This tracing shows sinus tachycardia. The rate is 123/min. The PR interval is normal at 120ms. The Q waves in II, III and aVF suggest an inferior infarction. The slight ST elevation in the inferior leads and more pronounced elevation in leads V2-V3 suggest acute injury or infarction.
