New Electrocardiographic Criteria for Predicting Culprit Coronary Artery in Inferior Wall Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Ischemic heart disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality and 99% of the cases are caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Predicting the culprit coronary artery in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction by surface ECG has been assessed in numerous studies, in which ECG criteria have been used either one by one or together, however the ideal criteria have not been defined. In this trial we aimed to predict the culprit coronary artery in the early stage in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction by using surface ECG. The two criteria, which can be used pratically, was studied one by one and together. These criteria included A) ST elevation at DIII > ST elevation at DII and B) ST depression at aVL > ST depression at DI. Forty-one patients with inferior myocardial infarction have been included in the trial. Fischer chi-square test was used as the istatistical analysis. Although the sensitivity or spesifisity of the criteria A or B in assessing the right coronary artery lesion was not high, using both criteria together showed high specifity. In conclusion, our study showed that the culprit artery in acute inferior myocardial infarction could be predicted by using ECG criteria. Early and right determination of the culprit infarct artery enables us to assess the myocardial area under risk, to estimate the clinical risk and to get ready for an urgent revascularization.
