This educational review outlines the differential diagnoses for ST elevation, the detection of right ventricular and posterior STEMI, the impact of LBBB on MI diagnosis, and the role of ECG in NSTEMI and unstable angina.
In this penultimate part of our ECG series, we return to STEMI to answer the following questions. , what are the differential diagnoses for ST elevation on the 12-lead ECG? , how can we detect STEMI affecting the right ventricle (RV) or posterior wall of the left ventricle (LV), given that they are poorly seen by the standard ECG leads (Garcia, 2015)? , how does left bundle branch block (LBBB) affect the diagnosis of acute myocardial ? also turn our attention to non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI) and unstable angina, and evaluate the of the ECG in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.

Michael Sampson (2016) conducted a review in Myocardial ischaemia and infarction. 12-lead ECG was evaluated.
