Which leads look at the lateral wall of the left ventricle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leads I and II look at the inferior wall of the left ventricle while leads V1-2 look at the septal wall. Lead III is more consistent with inferior wall MI than lateral wall MI. Therefore, the best choice for leads looking at the lateral wall of the left ventricle is C, which includes lead aVL and leads V5-6. Lead I can also show some lateral wall activity, but it is not as specific as lead aVL or V5-6.
