12-lead electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation (orange) in I, aVL and V1–V5 with reciprocal changes (blue) in the inferior leads, indicative of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. When there is a blockage of the coronary artery , there will be lack of oxygen supply to all three layers of cardiac muscle (transmural ischemia).
The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...
ST elevation may indicate transmural myocardial infarction. An elevation of >1mm and longer than 80 milliseconds following the J-point . This measure has a false positive rate of 15-20% (which is slightly higher in women than men) and a false negative rate of 20–30%.
12-lead electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation (orange) in I, aVL and V1-V5 with reciprocal changes (blue) in the inferior leads, indicative of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. The primary purpose of the electrocardiogram is to detect ischemia or acute coronary injury in broad, symptomatic emergency department populations. A ...
In contrast, ST elevation is transmural (or full thickness) ischemia; Non Q-wave myocardial infarction [3] Reciprocal changes in acute Q-wave myocardial infarction (e.g., ST depression in leads I & aVL with acute inferior myocardial infarction) [3] ST segment depression and T-wave changes may be seen in patients with unstable angina

ST-elevation myocardial infarction: STD Sexually transmitted disease: STI Sexually transmitted infection: SUNCT Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing: SUNDS Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome: SWS Sturge–Weber syndrome: SLOS Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome
proportionally excessively discordant ST elevation in V1-V4, as defined by an ST/S ratio of equal to or more than 0.20 and at least 2 mm of STE. (this replaces Sgarbossa criterion 3 which uses an absolute of 5mm) Wackers et al. correlated ECG changes in LBBB with localization of the infarct by thallium scintigraphy. [7]
