In addition to sinus tachycardia, ST depression is noted in lateral leads I, aVL, V4-V6 (blue arrows<\/span>). QS complexes are note in III and aVF (red arrows<\/span>). Minimal ST depression is noted in lead II (violet arrow<\/span>). Mild ST elevation is noted in aVR (black arrow<\/span>) and V1 (green arrow<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Overall this ECG fits in with that of an acute coronary syndrome. ST depression is indicative of subendocardial ischemia. ST elevation in aVR has been given certain added significance, probably a little more than what is needed as studies have shown ST elevation in aVR with left main coronary artery occlusion. Though many of the acute left main occlusions do not reach the hospital due to sudden cardiac death, those who reach the hospital are likely to have ST elevation in aVR [1,2].<\/p>\n

The typical finding of left main stenosis is ST elevation in aVR and V1 with reciprocal ST depression in all other leads [3]. In this ECG, ST depression is noted only in lateral leads.<\/p>\n

ST elevation in aVR and V1 can also occur in proximal left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion proximal to first diagonal and septal. In that case, ST elevation in V1 will be more than that in aVR while the reverse occurs in left main occlusion [4]. But it may be noted that ST elevation in aVR occurred in 8% (2 out of 24 cases) of right coronary occlusions as well. Right coronary artery also perfuses part of the septum through its septal perforator branches. ST elevation in inferior leads was almost invariably associated in RCA occlusion as seen in 23 of 24 cases. No ST elevation in inferior leads was noted in any of the 16 cases of LMCA occlusion in the study.<\/p>\n
