In-Hosptal Outcome and Angiographic Findings in Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction with ST-Segment Elevation in Posterior Chest Leads ( V7, V8, V9 ) Following Thrombolytic Therapy
Abstract:Conclusion: ST segment elevation in posterior chest leads (V 7 , V 8 , V 9 ) were associated with more in-hospital adverse outcome than those who had inferior MI alone. This group of patients had more PLVB involvement. Recording of posterior precordial leads appear to be beneficial for risk stratification and to locate the site of lesion in patients admitted with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Since it is inexpensive method, it may be used in any hospital.
