Describe and interpret his initial 12-lead electrocardiogram:
ECG of the Week – 15/02/2018
Sinus bradycardia with a HR of about 48bpm
Grossly normal axis
1st degree HB with prolonged PR interva
Likely evolving ST elevation in inferior leads (II, III, AVF)
T wave inversion in high lateral leads (AVL, I)
Imp: STEMI
