Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction during Left Bundle Branch Block
2006, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :This causes (initial) q waves in leads I, aVL, V5, and V6, producing an Qr or qR pattern. A number of old studies reported that the presence of a Q wave in lead 1 was a highly specific and relatively sensitive sign for the diagnosis of anterior infarction in the presence of complete LBBB [27,28]. Cabrera and Friedland [29] described the diagnostic value of late notching of the S wave in leads V3 to V5 (Fig. 3) in anterior infarction in terms of very high sensitivity and specificity.

2000, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Despite the importance of early reperfusion, only about 5% of patients with AMI and LBBB receive thrombolytic therapy.1 A number of ECG criteria have been described and studied to help identify AMI in patients with LBBB.6-12 Most recently, Sgarbossa et al13 derived and validated 3 ECG criteria that could be used in an algorithm to diagnose AMI on the initial ECG of such patients.
