Abstract 

Discriminating among the various coronary obstruction patterns influences early management decisions. One of the most important tasks is the identification of ST-elevation myocardial infarction caused by left main occlusion. We present a case of single-lead ST-segment elevation in aVR caused by acute left main coronary artery occlusion.

Keywords: LM obstruction, ST elevation, aVR lead
