17.3.1.2 Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction
An inferior wall myocardial infarction is usually caused by occlusion of right coronary artery. The characteristic ECG changes are located in leads II, III and aVF
(Figs.17.13 and 17.14). S-T segment elevation and T wave inversion in leads II, III
and aVF may produce reciprocal changes in the form of S-T segment depression
and tall T waves in leads I, aVL and V1 to V6.
Patients with inferior wall infarction often develop sinus bradycardia, sinus
arrest and heart block. Inferior wall infarction is often associated with a right ventricular, lateral wall or posterior wall infarction. Hence, in patients suffering from
inferior wall infarction, thoroughly one must try to look for infarctions at these sites
as well.

17.3.1.3 Posterior Wall Myocardial Infarction
Posterior wall myocardial infarction is usually associated with inferior wall infarction. It rarely occurs alone. Occlusion of right coronary artery or left circumex
artery leads to posterior wall myocardial infarction. None of the leads of the conventional 12 lead ECG is directly oriented towards the posterior wall of the heart.
Hence, the leads opposite to the posterior wall, i.e. anterior wall will record the
inverse or the mirror image changes. Thus the changes are recorded in leads V1–V3,
especially lead V2 (Fig.17.15). The changes in lead V2 are:

1. Tall and slightly wide R wave, which is mirror image of QS complex.
2. Depressed and concave upward S-T segment (mirror image of convex upwards
S-T segment elevation).
3. Upright, tall and wide T wave (mirror image of inverted T wave).
The height of the R wave in lead V1 and/or V2 more than the depth of the S wave in
these leads is a strong indicator of posterior wall myocardial infarction. While there
are S-T segment depression in the leads V1 and V2, a true posterior lead will record
S-T segment elevation. Posterior wall infarctions are often associated with AV conduction defects and changes in sinus rate and rhythm.

17.3.2 Right Ventricular Infarction
Right ventricular myocardial infarction is caused by proximal occlusion of right
coronary artery. Isolated right ventricular infarction is very rare. It is usually associated with inferior wall infarction. Right ventricular infarction should be suspected
in presence of inferior wall infarction, if the following changes are recorded:
1. S-T segment elevation in lead V1 and lead V4R (Fig.17.16).
2. S-T segment depression in lead V2 is 50% or less than the magnitude of S-T
segment elevation in lead aVF.
3. S-T segment elevation in leads V1–V4 but the maximum elevation will be in
lead V1 and the elevation decreases from lead V1 to lead V4. Q waves will be
absent in these leads.
4. S-T segment elevation in lead V1 and S-T segment depression in lead V2.

Tips and Tricks
• Sometimes patient presents with severe chest pain and sweating, but ECG turns
out to be normal. In such patients, start preliminary treatment for ACS but repeat
ECG after a few minutes.
• Serial ECG is often required to make a diagnosis of myocardial infarction if the
initial ECG is normal.
• One can do an ECG with chest electrodes placed a bit up or down if the initial
ECG is normal in presence of chest pain.
• In young patients, do not ignore chest pain. ACS is not uncommon in young people.
• In young patients, always look for chest wall tenderness. It is often simple costo-
chondritis instead of ACS.
Self-Assessment Questions

tion EXCEPT:
