Lecture Objectives
• Review 12 Lead EKG changes which
may indicate myocardial ischemia, injury
or infarction
• Identify pre-existing EKG changes that
may affect the ability to detect coronary
ischemic changes
• Develop a plan to maximize the capability
of the EKG monitor to detect
intraoperative myocardial ischemia,
injury, or infarct

Know the Big Picture
• Does my patient have known or
suspected coronary artery disease
– Determined by
• Patient history
• Chart Review
• 12 Lead EKG analysis
• If known what do we know about the
disease
– What vessels are affected
• LAD, LCX, RAD
– Has there been an infarct
• What is the current ejection fraction
– How well is the disease managed
• Meds
• Current symptoms
• Functional capacity

Know the Big Picture
• If suspected what are the risk factors
– Elevated cholesterol
– Hypertension‘
– Diabetes
– Overweight
– Smoking
– Sedentary lifestyle
– Unhealthy diet
– Stress
– Family history of coronary disease
– Age, gender
More risk factors=higher suspicion

MI Detection and LBBB
• Any new onset of LBBB is suspicious
for MI
• ST segment abnormalities may reflect
altered ventricular depolarization
secondary to altered ventricular
repolarization.
– Represented by T wave depolarization and
ST segment deviation vector in the
opposite direction of Q wave vector
(discordant ST-segment elevation)
• Concordant ST-segment elevation
may indicate acute MI
– Sgarbossa’s Criteria may be used
maximize specificity

London et al.,1988
Design:– Quasi-Experimental
Methods:– N=105
– Patients with diagnosed or suspected coronary artery disease.
All patients underwent non-cardiac surgery and were monitored
with a 12-lead EKG
– Ischemia defined as ≥ 0.1 mV depression, measured 60msec
after J-point; duration ≥ 1 minute
– Passive induction of ischemia during cardiac surgery with
general anesthesia.
Findings: – V5 was most sensitive single lead to ST segment changes
(75%).
– Most sensitive combination of two leads was in V4 and V5
(90%)
– Leads II, V4, and V5 were the most sensitive (96%) of ST
segment changes.
– ** 5 lead (II, V2-V5) detected 100% of ST changes

Conclusions
• Contrary to the well-known standard of practice, which advises
practitioners to monitor lead II and V5 for coronary ischemia, this
study found a surprisingly large amount of conflicting data
suggesting a wide range of leads.
• The majority of the research studies recommended monitoring
multiple leads with the most common leads equally suggesting V4 &
V5.
• The majority of evidence is at a IIIA and IIIB evidence grading
level.
• Another common finding amongst the studies encouraged the use of
precordial leads over limb leads if multiple lead monitoring could
not be accommodated.
• Based on the evidence found in this systematic review of the
literature, we recommend the use of leads II, III, and V5 when 3 leads
are monitored. If monitoring 2 leads, we suggest leads III and V5
• All agreed that the greater the number of leads the greater the
sensitivity was for detecting ischemia

What Leads to Monitor
• Basesd upon known location of disease
– RAD
• II, III, avF
– LAD
• V1-V4
– LCX
• I, avL, V5, V6
– If we don’t know
• Based upon evidence
• II, III, V5
• Automated ST analysis allows continual
and trending of ST deviations in all
available leads
• Dependent upon proper identification of 3
points
– Iso
– J point
– J+
