title: The hyperacute phase of true posterior infarction.
abstract: The hyperacute phase of true posterior myocardial infarction is described in detail. This electrocardiographic manifestation, hitherto unnamed as such, presents with slope-depression of the S-T segments with relatively wide and deep T-waves in the right precordial Leads V1 to V4. The condition then progresses to the well-recognized fully evoked phase of acute true posterior wall myocardial infarction.
