Usefulness of synthesized 18-lead electrocardiography in the diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A pilot study

Abstract: The diagnosis of STEMI by synthesized 18-lead ECG is useful to identify the site of infarction in patients with infarction of the right ventricular wall (supplied by the RCA) or posterior wall of the left ventricle (supplied by the LCX), which often fail to be diagnosed by the standard 12-lead ECG.

“…If right side dysfunction is suspected, a right-sided ECG is the most sensitive and specific, as ST elevation in V4R >1.0 mm has 100% sensitivity, 87% specificity, and 92% predictive accuracy. Conduction abnormalities such as right bundle branch block, bradycardia, or complete heart block can also manifest themselves in the ECG but may also be non-specific [8][9][10] .…”

“…[16] Conduction abnormalities such as right bundle branch block, bradycardia, or complete heart block can also manifest themselves in the ECG but may also be non-specific. [17][18][19] In our study, we sampled 104 patients presented with acute onset chest pain diagnosed with inferior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction presenting within 12 hours of onset angina. All patients were subjected to right sided ECG evaluation along with standard 12 lead rhythm strip.…”

“…Negative T wave locations in an 18-lead ECG provide the critical clue to differentiate between the two diseases 3. Negative T waves in precordial (V1, V2, V3, V4), inferior (especially in II) and posterolateral (V6, syn-V7, syn-V8 and syn-V9) leads reflect pathological conditions of the anterior, inferior and posterolateral myocardium the possibility of a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be strongly considered because simultaneous changes in these leads in an AMI is extremely rare.…”
