Abstract
The 12-lead electrocardiogram is an easily obtained, non-invasive method to assist in the diagnosis of an acute myocardial infarction. Traditional electrocardiographic criteria for diagnosing inferior myocardial infarction emphasize abnormalities of the initial large Q wave or ST segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. We report a case that has acute R-wave loss in inferior leads as an initial manifestation of acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. The patient was stabilized by coronary angioplasty.
