  EKG Examples Shown below is an EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm and a QRS with a rightward axis, as well as wide Q waves in leads I and aVL as well as a poor R wave progression across the anterior chest leads. [wikidoc.org]

  QS waves in the anteroseptal leads (V1-4) with poor R wave progression indicate prior anteroseptal infarction. This pattern suggests proximal LAD disease with an acute occlusion of the first diagonal branch (D1). [lifeinthefastlane.com]

  Adding to the evidence for a diagnosis of acute M.I. are the associated signs: T wave inversion in Lead III (a sign of ischemia), and poor R wave progression in V3 through V6. [ecgguru.com]

• T Wave Inversion

  These feature are suggestive of posterior wall infarction, being the inverse of Q wave, ST elevation and T wave inversion which would have been recorded in a posterior lead. [cardiophile.org]

  In 8 of these 22 patients, the infarct was silent in the sense that no ST segment elevation or Q waves were seen, although ST depressions or T wave inversions, or both, in all but one patient were compatible with subendocardial infarction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There is also slight ST elevation in leads I, aVL, and T wave inversion in the lateral leads. The EKG is consistent with a lateral wall myocardial infarction. Copyleft image obtained courtesy of, Shown below is an EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm. [wikidoc.org]

  Within a few hours, you can begin to see negative T waves or T wave inversion as the MI evolves. The T wave inversion can persist for months after the MI. [dummies.com]
