"Answers": Patient 1 shows very subtle high lateral OMI, South African flag sign. She had an acute LAD OMI in the process of reperfusion, see case below. Patient 2 has a normal variant ECG which mimics high lateral OMI, and ruled out for MI, see case below.

This is definitely not something that needs to be done all the time, but is a great adjunct in the appropriate clinical setting!
