Usefulness of synthesized 18-lead electrocardiography in the diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A pilot study

The diagnosis of STEMI by synthesized 18-lead ECG is useful to identify the site of infarction in patients with infarction of the right ventricular wall (supplied by the RCA) or posterior wall of the left ventricle (supplied by the LCX), which often fail to be diagnosed by the standard 12-lead ECG.
