Abstract
A constant ST-elevation was more often described in precordial leads. We presented it in leads II, III, AVF in 16 consecutive patients seeking to establish a link between it and clinical, laboratory, echocardiography, exercise test, and multi-slice computed tomography angiography data.Main complaint of these obese middle-age men was angina pectoris (68.75%). They usually had hypertension, dyslipidemia, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and non-pathological exercise test. Coronary stenosis >Â 50% was only in one case (6.25%).Despite the typical pain and risk factors, the constant ST-elevation in leads II, III, AVF usually was not associated with coronary stenosis.
