In 70 consecutive patients (pts) with acute transmural inferior infarction, 58 had significant precordial ST depression (group A) and the remaining 12 had no ECG changes in precordial leads (group B) on admission. At the time of hospital discharge, the persistence of anterior ST depression was observed in 13 pts (group A1), normalization in 45 (group A2). Infarct size was significantly greater (p less than 0.05) in group A than in group B (37.6 vs. 23.8 CK-MB gEq). The largest infarct (51.5 CK-MB gEq) and the most serious clinical course was observed in group A1. No significant differences were noticed in the frequency of reinfarction and episodes of acute coronary insufficiency during hospitalization and one-year follow-up between groups. Persistent precordial ST depression is a simple ECG marker of extensive infarction, left ventricular dysfunction and a worse clinical course.
