EKG Examples

Shown below is an EKG demonstrating the evolution of an infarct on the EKG. ST elevation, Q wave formation, T wave inversion, normalization with a persistent Q wave suggest STEMI.

Shown below are two EKGs of the same subject: while the first EKG demonstrates no Q waves, the second EKG performed after a year shows Q wave in leads I and aVL consistent with an anterior myocardial infarction of undetermined age.

Shown below is the first EKG.

Lateral Myocardial Infarction

Shown below is an EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm and a QRS with a rightward axis, as well as wide Q waves in leads I and aVL as well as a poor R wave progression across the anterior chest leads. There is also slight ST elevation in leads I,aVL , and T wave inversion in the lateral leads. The EKG is consistent with a lateral wall myocardial infarction.

Anterolateral Myocardial Infarction

Shown below is an EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm. The remarkable feature is the poor R wave progression in the V1 and V2 leads and the ST elevation and T wave changes in leads V1 to V4 and I and aVL. The cardiogram suggests an anterior/ lateral MI possibly acute. There is also terminal P wave negativity in V1 suggesting a left atrial abnormality.

Shown below is an EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm. The QRS shows Q waves in the inferior leads which are wide (>30ms) and about 25% of the QRS height in aVF. There is also slight ST elevation in the inferior leads and T wave inversion. The EKG suggests an inferior wall infarction, probably old. (the best way to determine "old" is to see a previous cardiogram).
