Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialPrognostic significance of precordial ST segment depression on admission electrocardiogram in patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction.
This study assessed retrospectively the correlation between the pattern of precordial ST segment depression on the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) and hospital mortality in patients with an inferior myocardial infarction treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy. ⋯ The risk of mortality is higher in patients with an inferior myocardial infarction and maximal ST segment depression in precordial leads V4 to V6 versus precordial leads V1 to V3 on the admission ECG.
