ST-segment elevation in leads I and aVL predicts short-term prognosis in acute anterior wall myocardial infarction

Our study demonstrates that ST-segment elevation in both leads I and aVL noted on admission for an anterior acute myocardial infarction does portend a worse short-term survival. Independent predictors of short-term prognosis in an anterior acute myocardial infarction include ST elevation in both lea...

Description
Summary:Our study demonstrates that ST-segment elevation in both leads I and aVL noted on admission for an anterior acute myocardial infarction does portend a worse short-term survival. Independent predictors of short-term prognosis in an anterior acute myocardial infarction include ST elevation in both leads I and aVL, advanced age, female gender, left ventricular failure, and malignant arrhythmias.
