Background Both Q waves and T‐wave inversion (TWI) in the presenting ECG are
associated with a progressed stage of myocardial infarction, possibly with less potential for …

Background The twelve‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has become an essential tool for the
diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of patients with acute coronary syndromes …

Background QRS axis deviation can occur during myocardial infarction (MI); to date, little is
known about the significance of extreme right axis deviation (ERAD) in the frontal plane, ie a …

Q waves have been shown to be a stronger prognostic marker than time from symptom
