Abstract

Objective To investigate value of the electrocardiogram STⅡ/Ⅲ ratio in predicting the infarct-related artery(IRA) in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction.Methods The early electrocardiogram and coronary angiographic findings were retrospectively analyzed in 72 patients with first time inferior wall acute myocardial infarction.Results The STⅡ/Ⅲ ratio was 1 in most cases of the RCA group,whereas it was ≥1 in most cases of the LCX group(P0.01).After the patients with distinct lesion in both arteries were excluded,the p value was almost the same(P0.01).Conclusion The STⅡ/Ⅲ ratio is an accurate electrocardiographic criteria for predicting IRA in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction.
