[Lower myocardial infarct with depression of the ST segment in anterior precordial leads. Correlation of the electrocardiogram, coronarography and ventriculography performed in the acute phase].
We report on 11 pts affected by acute inferior myocardial infarction (group A: 4 pts without precordial ST-segment depression; group B: 7 pts with ST precordial ST-segment depression). These pts underwent left and right coronarography and left ventriculography in the course of intracoronary thrombolysis. We did not observe, in the group B pts, an involvement of the LAD branch of the left coronary, neither contractility abnormalities of the left ventricular anterior wall. ST depression in the precordial leads was associated with severe and extensive abnormalities of left ventricular inferior wall contractility.
