This ECG was sent to me by a friend, I don't know if he did it himself. The question was whether a heart attack can be recognized here.
The patient is a 55-year-old man who has typical angina pectoris lasting more than 1 hour.
What can you answer?
We can see a SR with a slightly prolonged PR interval (1st degree AVB). The limb leads show a typical left bundle branch block. This cannot be seen in the precordial leads (V6!). In an LBBB, the ST segments in I and aVL should point in the opposite direction to the QRS complexes, here the ST segments are slightly concordant. In the precordial leads, excessively discordant ST segment elevations in V2-V4 are noticeable. Several Sgarbossa criteria are therefore positive here, which allows us to assume an acute AWMI.
