Isolated Posterior Infarction
Report:
Sinus rhythm 68/min
Old posterior infarction
Comment:
There is, in V1, a dominant R wave (R/S > 1.0) with upright T wave and absence of other causes of dominant R there (RBBB, WPW âAâ, RVH). True posterior infarct.
The tracing is otherwise normal. In a younger subject it could indeed be a normal variant or reflect cardiac dextroposition.
The posterior infarct was later masked by RBBB (68a) developed when the patient had CABGs for post-infarct angina. The monophasic R in V1 may have something to do with previous infarction â especially with no obvious hemiblock), but some RBBBs look like that anyway.
68a.
69. Ventilated 43 year old man with massive intracranial hæmorrhage from a known AV malformation.
