Background: A patient suffering from an anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will frequently demonstrate ST segment depression (STD) in the inferior leads (II, III, and aVF). The aim of this study was to determine the meaning of STD in the early stages of an acute anterior MI, and whether they represent remote ischemia or reflect an electrical mechanism by using speckle-tracking echocardiography.

Methods: Fifty patients suffering from acute anterior STEMI were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were classified into two groups each one included 25 patients. Group 1 included patients who had STD in the inferior leads and group 2 included patients who had not. All of the patients were evaluated with a standard 1... view moreĀ»
