Key result
Isolated ST elevation in lead III can signal acute inferior MI requiring prompt reperfusion.
Why the study?
Early recognition and management of acute inferior myocardial infarction presenting with isolated ST segment elevation in Lead III is key to preventing morbidity and mortality.

Population
A patient with acute inferior myocardial infarction and isolated Lead III ST segment elevation
Design
Case report and brief review
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant ECG vigilance for isolated Lead III ST elevation; case report leaves open prevalence and diagnostic criteria for atypical inferior MI.
This article illustrates a patient who presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction with only isolated ST segment elevation in Lead III. Brief review on the electrocardiographic interpretation was discussed. Early recognition and management is the key to prevent morbidity and mortality.
