  Background: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential in identifying the type and location of acute myocardial infarction. In the setting of inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI), identification of the right coronary artery (RCA) as the culprit artery is important because of the potential complications associated with its involvement. Objectives: The study was conducted to identify the culprit artery responsible for STEMI from ECG tracings. To validate Fiol’s algorithm in Eastern Indian population and to compare the ECG findings with coronary angiogram. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 patients with acute STEMI. Patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 12 h of symptom onset were included in the study. In this study, we focused on Fiol’s algorithm and s.. View More»
