.: 50% of LAD STEMI have Q-waves by one hour. The exception is with postinfarction pericarditis , in which a completed transmural infarct results in inflammation of the subepicardial myocardium and STE in the distribution of the infarct, and which results in increased STE and large upright T-waves. So it is not necessarily subacute.
