This ECG has ST Elevation in multiple leads. Is it normal STE? Or is it ischemic STE? What do you think? This ECG is interesting because it mimics TQRSD. There are no S-waves in V2 and V3. BUT look at the very prominent J-waves (J point notching)!! It is several mm high! This is a normal ECG. This patient had CO poisoning but did not have myocardial injury or OMI.

Pendell (Pendell Meyers, of course), with a little help from Smith, coined a new LAD Occlusion pattern "Precordial Swirl," in which there is rightward STE vector, with STE in V1 and aVR, with reciprocal STD in V5 and V6. It is due to transmural ischemia not only of the anterior wall and apex, but due to transmural ischemia of the septum, usually due to occlusion proximal to the first septal perforator.
