-# intermediate axis
-# normal p wave morphology
-# No pathologic Q or LVH. Tall R in V2, V3.
-# ST depression in V2, V3. Also depression in III and AVF. Some elevation in I and AVL.
-* Conclusion: '''Postero-lateral MI caused by an RCX occlusion.'''
-Note! The high frequency vibration that is most clearly seen in lead AVR (with a frequency of > 300/min) is an artefact and not a suprvaventricular tachycardia. In SVT, there would be no P waves.
-It is quite unusual that lead III shows depression in a RCX infarction. Apparently the inferior part is not much affected by this infarction.
