Value of leads V7-V9 in diagnosing posterior wall acute myocardial infarction and other causes of tall R waves in V1-V2.
Left posterolateral chest leads (V7, V8, V9) helped distinguish the multiple causes of tall R waves in V1 and/or V2, diagnosed true posterior myocardial infarction when standard leads did not, and identified the presence or absence of posterior injury in patients with inferior infarction.
