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).

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»
