Implications of ST-segment elevation in leads V5 and V6 in patients with reperfused inferior wall acute myocardial infarction.

During inferior acute myocardial infarction, ST-segment elevation (ST↑) often occurs in leads V(5) to V(6), but its clinical implications remain unclear. We examined the admission electrocardiograms from 357 patients with a first inferior acute myocardial infarction who had Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 3 flow of the right coronary artery or left circumflex artery within 6 hours after symptom onset. The patients were divided according to the presence (n = 76) or absence (n = 281) of ST↑ >2 mm in leads V(5) and V(6).
