Expert ECG 9

  1. Normal sinus rhythm
  2. ST changes consistent with ischemia - specifically, occlusion of the left main coronary artery

This ECG shows dramatic ST depression that is downsloping consistent with ischemia. The changes are quite pronounced. One classic teaching helps to diagnose a left main coronary artery occlusion. This is ST segment elevation in lead aVR greater than the ST elevation in lead V1 along with ST depression in the precordial leads.
