Lead I is elevated in a lateral wall myocardial infarction.

Lead aVL
aV Left

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

Lead V5
V (5) Hand

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

Lead V6
V (6) Shooter

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