Quick 12-Lead ECG/EKG Format

EKG and Locations of Infarcts:

• ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads II, III and aVF for infarcts in right coronary artery occlusion. Most common complication is 3rd degree heart block. Always administer IV fluids in right ventricular myocardial infarction.

• ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads I, aVL, and V4 V6 for infarcts in circumflex artery.

• ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads V1V3 for anteroseptal infarcts in left anterior descending artery.

• ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads V2V4 for anterior infarcts in left anterior descending artery.

• ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads I, aVL, and V1V3 for lateral infarcts in left anterior descending artery.

• Leads V1V2 show a tall broad initial R wave, with ST depression in leads V1V3, and tall upright T waves in these leads for infarcts in posterior descending artery.
