Objectives To gain a cursory understanding of 12 lead
ECG’s

Basic 12 Lead Interpretation
04/21/23 3
12 lead ECG’s give you the opportunity to look for all the arythmias we have studied in a 360 degree view of the heart with the added bonus of being able to diagnose and localize myocardial infarctions ( i.e. areas of muscle damage)
Remember to look at all leads to rule out all of the arrhythmias and abnormalities we have studies thus far.
In particular look first at Leads I , II, and III as these will be the most familiar to you .

In a 12 lead ECG 10 electrodes/leads attached to the patient.
Myocardial InfarctionMyocardial infarctions can be categorized as
follows:-Q-wave MI-Non Q-wave MI
04/21/23 6
Q-Wave Myocardial InfarctionThis is the classic presentation for MI’s. The developing MI is seen as ST segment
elevation followed by deepening Q-waves in the leads where ST segment elevation was 1st seen.
The ECG changes are accompanied by elevated cardiac enzymes and markers and of course physical signs and symptoms of an MI ( chest pain ,nausea ,vomiting , etc)
04/21/23 7
Non Q-Wave Myocardial InfarctionIn this case you get classic signs and
symptoms symptoms of an MI(i.e. elevated cardiac enzymes and markers and of course physical signs of an MI ( chest pain ,nausea ,vomiting , etc)
But non of the usual ECG changes ( i.e. ST segment elevation and deepening Q-waves). In fact sometimes the only clue on the ECG are inverted T-waves.

Cardiac Enzyme changes and Markers for MIThere are 4 markers for cardiac enzymes as
follows:CK-MB isoenzymeCK-MB isoformsMyoglobin Troponin T or Troponin I

CK-MB Isoenzyme
Myoglobin CK-MB Isoforms
Troponin ( Tor I)
Specific for cardiac muscleDamage
No No No Yes
Sensitivity= early rise ( 1-6 hours after damage
Yes YES Yes Yes
Sensitivity=sustained elevation after damage
No No No Yes
Sensitivity= will detect reinfarction soon after the initial episode
Yes No Yes No
Diagnostic use verified by clinical studies
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Prognostic Use verified by clinical studies
No No No Yes

CK-MB Isoenzyme
Myoglobin CK-MB Isoforms
Troponin ( Tor I)
Score 3 yes 3 No
2 Yes4 No
3 Yes3 No
5 yes1 No
Therefore the best test overall is Troponin T or I. But these will not detect reinfarction and therefore more than one test is required.
The current recommendation is to combine one of the CK-MB tests with one of the Troponin tests.
It should be noted that high troponin levels post MI correlate with poor outcomes.
Finally please note CK-MB also rises in unstable angina ( damaged cells that will recover ) as well as MI ( damaged cells that won’t recover) so it won’t differentiate between unstable angina and an MI
Localizing Myocardial infarctionsAnterior( blockage of left anterior descending
artery) –look for ECG changes in leads V1-V4Inferior ( blockage of right coronary artery or
less commonly right circumflex)- look for ECG changes in leads II, III, and AVF

Anterior MI

Inferior MI
04/21/23 15
Localizing Myocardial infarctions continuedLateral Infarction ( blockage of circumflex or
diagonal branch of the LAD)-look in leads V5, V6 and AVL
Posterior (blockage of right coronary artery or circumflex) –look for mirror image changes to anterior in V1-V4 (i.e. ST depression and dominant R-wave).
