Question

You perform a 12-lead ECG on your adult patient, who is complaining of abdominal pain and difficulty breathing. Vital signs are BP 138/72, P 74, R 16, and SpO2 98% ORA. In the ECG, the depth of the S-wave in lead V1 and the height of the R-wave in V5 together are greater than 35 mm. The ECG is indicative of: A Inferior wall myocardial infarction B Left ventricular hypertrophy C Anteroseptal myocardial infarction D Right ventricular hypertrophy
