In the first hours and days after the onset of a myocardial infarction, several changes can be observed on the ECG. First, '''large peaked T waves''' (or ''hyperacute'' T waves), then '''ST elevation''', then '''negative T waves''' and finally '''[[Pathologic_Q_Waves|pathologic Q waves]]''' develop. | In the first hours and days after the onset of a myocardial infarction, several changes can be observed on the ECG.
