Why the study?
Do vectorcardiographic criteria using the Frank corrected lead system accurately predict and localize myocardial infarction compared to autopsy findings?
Do vectorcardiographic criteria using the Frank corrected lead system accurately predict and localize myocardial infarction compared to autopsy findings?
Vectorcardiographic criteria using the Frank lead system show high sensitivity (92%) but moderate false-positive rates (32%) for detecting myocardial infarction when compared to autopsy findings.

Notable false positives warrant clinical caution; leaves open prospective validation versus contemporary imaging.
