Inferior Infarction and Left Anterior Hemiblock
Report:
Sinus rhythm 78/min
Left axis deviation – 72o
Left anterior hemiblock
Old inferior infarction
Clockwise rotation (late transition)
Comment:
The LAHB is seen as inferior QS waves > 5 mm in depth, lack of secondary R waves in the inferior leads and their presence in aVR and RS morphology of V6. In fact, the inferior leads do not have simple QS morphology: it is qrS in lead 2, there is a descending “ledge” in lead 3 and a sharp notch in the QS descent in aVF: imprint of LAHB on the inferior MI.
No Q wave in lead 1 is a sign of inferior infarction (less secure here, with small R wave), as is of course the lack of primary R waves in the inferior leads.
If you have any suggestions for or feedback on this report, please let us know.
