Abstract
Lead aVR ST-deviation is common, occurring in one-third of all ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients and independently associated with increased 90-day death. Myocardial infarction location modulates the prognostic significance of aVR ST-deviation such that lead aVR ST-E in inferior MI and ST-D in noninferior MI represent 2 high-risk groups. There was also more frequent advanced coronary disease in patients with aVR ST-E.
