Lateral wall myocardial infarctions are characterized by acute ST-segment changes in leads I, aVL, V5 and V6. This ECG distribution is usually associated with an acute left circumflex artery lesion.

5 KEY FACTS

Lead I is elevated in a lateral wall myocardial infarction.

Lateral wall myocardial infarctions are correlated with ST-segment changes in lead aVL.

Lead V5 shows ST-segment changes with a lateral wall myocardial infarction.

ST-segment changes are observed in lead V6 with a lateral wall myocardial infarction.

Lateral wall infarctions occur due to insult to the circumflex coronary artery, a branch of the left main coronary artery.
