Coronary artery disease including acute coronary syndrome is most common cause of mortality worldwide. Acute coronary syndrome which includes ST segment elevation myocardial infarction carries worse prognosis particularly when involves anterior wall of left ventricle. Anterior wall myocardial infarction diagnosed when ECG shows ST segment elevation in precordial leads is present.
