“…Several studies have shown this to have a sensitivity and specificity for RV infarction of more than 90%, with a positive predictive value of more than 80%. 16,79,97,98 Right precordial ST-segment elevation usually resolves early in the course of inferior infarction and must be looked for promptly.…”

“…[121][122][123] In this setting, ST-segment elevation exceeding 0.1 mV in 1 or more of the right precordial leads is moderately sensitive and specific for right ventricular injury and has been associated with underlying right ventricular dysfunction 124,125 and greater in-hospital complications. 126 Acute infarction of the posterior wall of the left ventricle theoretically can be diagnosed from reciprocal ST-segment depression evident in precordial leads V 1 through V 3 , and it appears that both the additional right-sided and additional posterior leads can be reconstructed from the standard ECG leads.…”

Abstract-This statement examines the relation of the resting ECG to its technology. Its purpose is to foster understanding of how the modern ECG is derived and displayed and to establish standards that will improve the accuracy and usefulness of the ECG in practice. Derivation of representative waveforms and measurements based on global intervals are described. Special emphasis is placed on digital signal acquisition and computer-based signal processing, which provide automated measurements that lead to computer-generated diagnostic statements. Lead placement, recording methods, and waveform presentation are reviewed. Key Words: AHA Scientific Statements Ⅲ electrocardiography Ⅲ computers Ⅲ diagnosis Ⅲ electrophysiology Ⅲ intervals Ⅲ potentials Ⅲ tests I n the century since the introduction of the string galvanometer by Willem Einthoven, 1 the electrocardiogram (ECG) has become the most commonly conducted cardiovascular diagnostic procedure and a fundamental tool of clinical practice. 2,3 It is indispensable for the diagnosis and prompt initiation of therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes and is the most accurate means of diagnosing intraventricular conduction disturbances and arrhythmias. Its interpretation may lead to the recognition of electrolyte abnormalities, particularly of serum potassium and calcium, and permit the detection of some forms of genetically mediated electrical or structural cardiac abnormalities. The ECG is routinely used to monitor patients treated with antiarrhythmic and other drugs, in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, and in screening individuals in high-risk occupations and, in some The American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Heart Rhythm Society make every effort to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of an outside relationship or a personal, professional, or business interest of a member of the writing panel.

“…uniesienie odcinka ST w odprowadzeniu V4R o 0,5 mm pozwala rozpoznać zawał PK z czułością 83% i swoistością 77% [9]. Według innych doniesień powyższe zmiany w zapisie EKG mają charakter przemijający i utrzymują się tylko około 24 godzin od czasu wystąpienia objawów [10][11][12]. W różnicowaniu należy uwzględnić, że uniesienie odcinka ST w odprowadzeniu V4R może także wystąpić w przebiegu innych jednostek chorobowych: zatorowości płucnej, przeroście mięśnia lewej komory oraz w zapaleniu osierdzia.…”
