The ST segment elevation in leads V₁, V₂, V₃, and V₄ with reciprocal changes in leads V₅, V₆, II, III, and aVF suggests a septal-anterior MI. This is because the affected leads are in the septal and anterior regions of the heart. The patient's diabetes may also increase their risk for cardiovascular disease, including MI.
