ST elevation in D2,D3,aVF,V5,V6,maybe V7-9 Bradycardia AMI of the inferio-posterior and basal posterior ==> RCA is blockage
Culprit lesion: LAD

1. sinustachycardia
2. about 100/min
3. normal conduction
4. intermediate heart axis
5. tall p wave in II consistent with right atrial dilatation. (the sawtooth-basline between the 2nd and 3rd complex in AVR is probably a motion artefact). PTA depression in II
6. Loss of R waves throughout the anterior wall (V1-V6). QS complexes in V3-V5.
7. ST elevation in V1-V5 with terminal negative T waves

* Conclusion: Large anterior MI due to LAD occlusion.

Characteristics that suggest a large infarct in this case are:

* Loss of R waves throughout the anterior wall (V1-V6). QS complexes in V3-V5.
* Left and right sided decompensation, resulting in right atrial dilatation and ischemia
* Tachycardia
*
o Rhythm
+ This is a regular rhythm and every QRS complex is preceded by a p wave. The p wave is positive in II,III, and AVF and thus originates from the sinus node. Conclusion: sinus rhythm.
o Hartfrequency
+ Use the 'count the squares' method (a bit less than 3 large squares ~> 300-150-100), thus about 90 bpm.
o Conduction (PQ,QRS,QT)
+ PQ-interval=0.16sec (4 small squares), QRS duration=0.10sec, QT interval=360ms
o Hartaxis
+ Positive in I, II, III, and AVF. Thus a normal heart axis.
o P wave morphology
+ The p wave is difficult to assess, because of the (electrical) interference, but does not seem fulfill the criteria for left or right atrial dilatation.
o QRS morphology
+ No pathologic Q waves. QRS duration < 0.12 seconds thus no bundle branch block is present. No left ventricular hypertrofy: S in V1 + R in V5 < 35mm.
o ST morphology
+ Evident ST elevation in II,III, and AVF and also in V5. ST-elevation in AVL and V1-V2.
o Compare with the old ECG (not available, so skip this step)
o Conclusion?

Acuut Inferior-Posterior Myocardial Infarction
*
o Rhythm
+ In leads V1 to V3 there is apparantly no relationship between the P waves and the QRS complexes. Furthermore the QRS complexes are broad and have a RBBB pattern (V1:RSR), thus the rhythm is probably a ventricular escape rhythm. Leads V4-V6 however show a narrow complex preced by a P wave, probably the result of a rhythm change to sinus rhythm.
o Hartfrequency
+ Use the 'count the squares' method (a bit less than 3 large squares ~> 300-150-100), thus about 58 bpm.
o Conduction (PQ,QRS,QT)
+ During sinus beats: PQ-interval=250msec, QRS duration=0.11sec, QT interval=400ms (equals QTc at this rate). The wide complexes have a QRS duration of +- 160 ms.
o Heartaxis
+ Negative in AVF and II, thus a left axis deviation.
o P wave morphology
+ The p wave is rather difficult to discern. It seems normal in V4-V6 and positive in AVF and negative in AVR.
o QRS morphology
+ RBBB pattern in V1 with ST changes (depression precordial leads). Leads V3 and V4 have probably been poled to the right chest. No pathologic Q waves.
o ST morphology
+ ST elevation in II,III, and AVF and also in V3 (V3right). Hyperacute T waves with ST depression in V1-V2 an I, AVR and AVL.
o Compare with the old ECG (not available, so skip this step)

Inferior-posterior myocardial infarction with complete AV block and ventricular excape rhythm with RBBB pattern and left axis, followed by sinus-rhythm. Probably RCA occlusion (ST depression in I)
