In a myocardial infarction transmural ischemia develops. In the first hours and days after the onset of a myocardial infarction, several changes can be observed on the ECG. First, large peaked T waves (or hyperacute T waves), then ST elevation, then negative T waves and finally pathologic Q waves develop.
What are the ECG changes in myocardial infarction?
The ECG findings of an acute anterior myocardial infarction wall include: ST segment elevation in the anterior leads (V3 and V4) at the J point and sometimes in the septal or lateral leads, depending on the extent of the MI. This ST segment elevation is concave downward and frequently overwhelms the T wave.
How is MI diagnosed on ECG?
Turn the ECG upside down, and it would look like a STEMI. The ratio of the R wave to the S wave in leads V1 or V2 is greater than 1. This represents an upside-down Q wave (similar in reason to the ST depression instead of elevation). ST segment elevation in the posterior leads of a posterior ECG (leads V7-V9).
