This interesting case was provided by Dr. Bojana Uzelac, Emergency Medicine physician. We are paraphrasing a translation of her comments here. The patient is a 50-year-old complaining of chest pain. The ECG shows a rare occurrence – an isolated POSTERIOR WALL MI (PWMI). Note that leads V1 through V4 show the usual signs of posterior wall MI. We see ST segment depression, which represents a reciprocal view of the ST elevation present on the posterior wall of the left ventricle.

A 90-something year old woman presented with an acute mild stroke. She had a routine ECG as part of her workup: What do you think? This was shown to me in real time. I thought it had to be an inferior-lateral-posterior OMI. But the patient had no symptoms. Later, she did admit to some vague chest discomfort, but that could be due to the power of suggestion.
