Description

The significance of exercise-induced S-T elevation in aVR was studied in 57 patients with recent anterior infarction and single-vessel disease. S-T elevation in aVR was found at peak exercise in 24 patients. Although the initial defect area was similar in the groups with and without S-T elevation in aVR, the redistribution area was larger in the former group (p0.01). When three electrocardiographic criteria were used in the multivariate analysis, S-T elevation in aVR was the significant variable related to redistribution in the anterior wall. Thus, S-T elevation in aVR may indicate ischemia of the anterior wall.
