Exclusion criteria: 1) Those with history of MI defined by established pathological Qwaves 2) Patients with signs of reperfusion by negative or biphasic Twaves will be excluded 3) Previous angioplasty of coronary vessels 4) Prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery 5) Presence of right or left bundle branch block 6) Left ventricular hypertrophy, Cardiomyopathy. 7) Patients with severe valvular heart disease other than ischemic mitral regurgitation and congenital cardiac anomaly 8) Patients with implanted pacemakers or valve prostheses 9) Patients with history of intake of drugs causing CB such as clonidine, methyldopa, verapamil, and digoxin.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1) Localization of culprit coronary vessels and occlusion site involved in acute coronary syndrome STelevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by combining various ECG criteria. 2) To assess the diagnostic accuracy of ECGs as compared to coronary angiographic findings in localizing culprit vessel Timepoint: Within 6 hours of arrival of patient and within 6 hours of angiography

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Ease in diagnosis of MI by usage of single cost-effective tool.Timepoint: within 24 hours of receiving the patient
