Özet

The electrocardiogram is not only an indispensable tool for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, but also helps in the prediction of its location and extent. However, there is a confusion regarding to the electrocardiographic nomenclature on the naming of infarcting left ventricular segments. This review briefly examines the sources of this confusion and gives some recommendations to avoid them. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
