Depends on the location of the infarct.

It changes.

Go read a book.

"the only ekg book you'll ever need" is a good one for med students

For a quick, easy-to-understand primer I recommend "Rapid Interpretation of EKG's" by Dale Dubin.

Terrible book.

For an intro to EKGs, pick up "12 Lead ECG: The Art of Interpretation" by Garcia and Holtz. Read it twice (once during cards 2nd year, and then again before your medicine or EM rotation).

Then to really understand ECGs, subscribe and read through Dr. Smith's ECG Blog.

Dubin's is good for the basics imo. Then Chou's Electrocardiography has two good chapters on ischemia and MI ekg patterns.

Wut.


This guy is definitely in the minority about Dubin. Its an excellent book and is recommended every time one of these questions comes up.

I second the Dubin book. You can tell the guy is ultra-pretentious and his douchebaggery reeks throughout the entire book, but it's damned good for learning how to interpret an EKG at the med student level.

The Dubin book may be good, but he's a straight up child molester!

Get Garcia's "The Art of 12 Lead ECG Interpretation" and support non-molesting ECG experts! Dr. Smith's ECG and the EMS12-Lead blogs are great too.

Dubins has been a best selling book for 30-40 years and sets the standard to learn EKGs.
