However, the association between vessel-level coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity and the incidence of vessel-level myocardial infarction (MI) has not been fully explored. This included an elevated risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (HR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.37-4.30; 4.39; P = 0.002) myocardial infarctions.

So in anterior leads, for diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction, V1, the cutoff is usually 2 mm, while 1 mm is enought in other leads. ST segment is usually mildly elevated, with upward concavity and it will merge towards the ascending limb of T wave. When there is ST depression, even 0.5 mm is enough, to consider abormal ST.

Among the patients included, those with diabetes exhibited higher rates of adverse events, including death, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), and repeat revascularization. Patients were stratified based on diabetes status, and various outcome measures were assessed using Kaplan-Meier event rates and Cox model hazard ratios.
