Remember, in diffuse subendocardial ischemia with widespread ST-depression there may b e ST-E in lead s aVR and V1. There are well formed R-waves with good voltage/amplitude which is uncommon for ischemia. The ECG does not show any signs of ischemia. True Positive ECG#2 : Also sinus rhythm. There is ST depression in V1.
