- Criteria for Right Ventricular MI [1]
- ST-elevation >1 mm in lead V4 right
- ST elevation >1 mm in lead V1 (sens 70% spec 100%)
Can be seen after a proximal occlusion of the RCA.
V4 right is located at the same place as lead V4, but is placed on the right side of the patient. This means it is placed under the right nipple instead of the left. This increases the sensitivity of detecting right ventricle infarcts.
