ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

ST segment elevation in aVR in proximal LAD occlusion before first septal is thought to be due to transmural ischemia of the basal part of the septum. This patient had reported with recent onset angina. Injury current of basal part of septum is directed towards right shoulder and aVR. ST elevation was 2 mm in aVR and 1 mm in V1.
