Figure 1 Examples of the correspondence between the sum of ST segment elevations ( ST) from epicardial leads and the ST from precordial leads at 5-min intervals after experimental coronary artery occlusion. (A) Correlation between epicardial ST and precordial ST when the occlusion was maintained. (B) correlation between epicardial ST and precordial ST when one of the two occlusions was released at 15 min (arrow). Note the marked fall in both epicardial and precordial ST after reperfusion of the larger of the two vessels. Adapted from Muller JE, Maroko PR, Braunwald E. Evaluation of precordial electrocardiographic mapping as a means of assessing changes in myocardial ischemic injury. Circulation 1975;52:1627.
