A 58-year-old diabetic came with chest pain, ECG shows ST elevation in II, III and AVF leads. Inference would be
Correct Answer: Inferior wall MI
Description: Inferior wall ischemia produces changes in leads II, III, and AVF.Acute transmural anterior (including apical and lateral) wall ischemia is reflected by ST elevations or increased T-wave positivity in one or more of the precordial leads (V1-V6) and leads I and aVL"Posterior" wall ischemia (usually associated with lateral or inferior involvement) may be indirectly recognized by reciprocal ST depressions in leads V1 to V3 (thus constituting an ST elevation "equivalent" acute coronary syndrome). Right ventricular ischemia usually produces ST elevations in right-sided chest leads Ref: Harrison 19e pg: 1456
