Massive ‘Reciprocal’ Changes
Report:
Sinus rhythm
PR interval 0.20”
Acute lateral infarction
Widespread reciprocal ST segment depression
Comment:
It never, of course, quite certain how much of the ST depression is indeed reciprocal to the puny elevation in aVL and how much is independent ischæmia. As a general rule, however, the elevation is the primary event70 when associated with depression in other leads.
Taking leads V4-6 one interspace higher is sometimes employed to bring to light more of the ‘lateral’ infarct pattern; it is rarely successful and never relevant in the first place.
This patient died from cardiogenic shock.
