Revision as of 20:46, 22 July 2007

This is part of: Myocardial Infarction

ECG-characteristics:[1]

ST-elevation in leads V1-V6, I and aVL. Maximum elevation in V3, maximal depression in III
later: pathological Q-wave in the precordial leads V2 to V4-V5.
Anterolateral infarct caused by occlusion of the LAD.

Encomprises the anterior part of the heart and a part of the ventricular septum. Is supplied by blood by the LAD.
