[A method of diagnosis in posterior myocardial infarct]
Abstract:
Based on the results of examination of 58 patients with myocardial infarction, the authors propose a method for diagnosing posterior myocardial infarction by abdominal electrocardiographic mapping. The anterior abdominal wall shows the area from which one may record the direct markers of posterior myocardial infarction: abnormal Q wave, R wave regression, abnormal QS complex, as well as ST segment elevation which is typical of acute myocardial infarction. The anterior abdominal wall also defines the areas from which direct signs of inferior and lateral myocardial infarctions may be recorded.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
