  		Figure 1 ECG of a patient with an anterior AMI as a consequence of LAD occlusion proximal to both the first septal perforator and the first diagonal branch, showing characteristic ST{uparrow} in aVR, ST{uparrow} >0.25 mV in V1, ST{downarrow} in V5, inferior ST{downarrow} >0.1 mV and an abnormal Q-wave in aVL.

  		Figure 2 ECG of a patient with an anterior AMI as a consequence of LAD occlusion proximal to the first septal perforator and distal to the first diagonal branch, showing characteristic ST{uparrow} in aVR, ST{uparrow} >0.25 mV in V1, probably ST{downarrow} in V5, ST{downarrow} in aVL and absence of ST{downarrow} in III and aVF.
