The significance of ST abnormalities in myocardial infarction.
During the acute phase of myocardial infarction, elevation of the ST segment represents one of the major criteria for location of the injury. Recent studies showed that changes in the ST segment in leads remote from the infarcted area or in right precordial leads may provide additional information on the extent of the infarction and right ventricular involvement.
