The cardiomyocytes in the ''subendocardial'' layers are especcially vulnerable for a decreased perfusion. Subendocardial ischemia manifests as ST depression and is usually reversible. In a myocardial infarction ''transmural ischemia'' develops. | The cardiomyocytes in the ''subendocardial'' layers are especcially vulnerable for a decreased perfusion.

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 '''[[ | In the first hours and days after the onset of a myocardial infarction, several changes can be observed on the ECG.
