New electrocardiographic criteria for predicting either the right or left circumflex artery as the culprit coronary artery in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction.
Two readily obtainable measurements on the admission electrocardiogram-a higher ST-segment elevation in lead III than in lead II and a greater ST-segment depression in lead aVL than in lead I-can distinguish right coronary artery from left circumflex artery-related acute inferior wall myocardial infarction.
