title: Value of ST elevation in lead III greater than lead II in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction for predicting in-hospital mortality and diagnosing right ventricular infarction.
abstract: ST elevation in lead III > II has a higher sensitivity than lead V4R in diagnosing right ventricular myocardial infarction. Lead III > II is also predictive of in-hospital mortality.
