And this was the initial concern. But MI was ruled out. When the patient returns and this is identical to old ECGs, then you know it is due to something other than MI.Steve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027289511840815536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-35080959569681473152014-10-23T12:40:01.527-05:002014-10-23T12:40:01.527-05:00What about posterior mi with rbbb and inferior and...What about posterior mi with rbbb and inferior and right axis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218268439781983452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-58107487477994829412014-10-16T06:14:08.063-05:002014-10-16T06:14:08.063-05:00Good Question, but no.
