  2. Electrocardiography in myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography_in...

    In particular, acute myocardial infarction in the distribution of the circumflex artery is likely to produce a nondiagnostic ECG. [1] The use of additional ECG leads like right-sided leads V3R and V4R and posterior leads V7, V8, and V9 may improve sensitivity for right ventricular and posterior myocardial infarction. In spite of these ...

    In particular, acute myocardial infarction in the distribution of the circumflex artery is likely to produce a nondiagnostic ECG. [10] The use of additional ECG leads like right-sided leads V3R and V4R and posterior leads V7, V8, and V9 may improve sensitivity for right ventricular and posterior myocardial infarction. [citation needed] The 12 ...

  4. Axillary lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_lines

    The V 5 ECG lead is placed on the anterior axillary line, horizontally even with V 4. The midaxillary line is a coronal line on the torso between the anterior and posterior axillary lines. It is a landmark used in thoracentesis, [2] and the V6 electrode of the 10 electrode ECG.

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Posterior leads (V 7 to V 9) may be used to demonstrate the presence of a posterior myocardial infarction. The Lewis lead or S5-lead (requiring an electrode at the right sternal border in the second intercostal space) can be used to better detect atrial activity in relation to that of the ventricles. [46]

  6. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

    A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle. [1] The most common symptom is retrosternal chest pain or discomfort that classically radiates to the left shoulder, arm, or jaw. [1]

  7. Acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_coronary_syndrome

    If the ECG confirms changes suggestive of myocardial infarction (ST elevation in specific leads, a new left bundle branch block or a true posterior MI pattern), thrombolytics may be administered or percutaneous coronary intervention may be performed.

    So now let’s change views a bit, If we take a slice of the heart like this, this side being posterior, or back, and this being anterior, or the front, with the left and right ventricles here, and then we have the three most commonly blocked arteries—the left anterior descending, or LAD which supplies blood to the anterior wall and septum of ...

  9. Bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_branch_block

    The ECG will show a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a slurred S wave in lead I. Left bundle branch block widens the entire QRS, and in most cases shifts the heart's electrical axis to the left. The ECG will show a QS or rS complex in lead V1 and a monophasic R wave in lead I.
