The hallmark of an acute anterior STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) is ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads.
Recognizing an anterior infarct on ECG requires careful analysis of the precordial leads for ST elevation, reciprocal changes, and evolving Q waves. Prompt diagnosis is essential, as timely reperfusion of the LAD is the primary determinant of survival and preservation of left ventricular function.
