Summary: Part LI of this two-part series on electrocardiographic-necropsy correlation of infarct location focuses on lateral and posterior ("inferior") infarctions. The value of infarct location regarding complications and prognosis is also discussed.
Summary: This two-part review evaluates a 56-year period ( 1 938-1 994) of electrocardiographic-necropsy correlation studies. Part I focuses on definitions of infarct location and evaluates anterior infarctions. Part I1 will focus on lateral and posterior infarcts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
