Exploring Posterior and Septal STEMI: Posterior STEMI: Posterior STEMI often accompanies inferior or lateral infarctions and can be tricky to diagnose due to its subtle presentation on a standard 12-lead ECG. Key indicators include: - Standard 12-lead ECG: Look for ST-segment depression in the anteroseptal leads (V1-V3). - Posterior Leads (V7-V9): Confirm with ST-segment elevation in these leads. - Clinical Features: May include **hypokinesis and akinesis in the posterior segments of the left ve

Deep Dive: Anterior and Inferior STEMI 📢 In our last post, we covered the various types of STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction). Now, let's focus on the first two types: Anterior STEMI and Inferior STEMI. ### Anterior STEMI ❤️ - ECG Findings: ST elevation in the anterior leads (V1 to V4). - Echocardiogram Findings: Hypokinesis, akinesis, reduced ejection fraction. - LAD Occlusion: Blockage in the left anterior descending artery. - Complications: Anterior wall rupture, cardiogenic shock. -
