Abstrakt: This prospective study aimed to assess the accuracy of electrocardiography (ECG) and 2D echocardiography (2D-ECHO) in identifying the infarct vessel in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), correlating findings with coronary angiography (CAG). Seventy-five AMI cases were included, diagnosed by ECG and cardiac enzymes, and underwent 2D-ECHO and CAG. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS and R environment. Results showed significant correlations between ECG, 2D-ECHO, and CAG findings, aiding in accurate identification of infarct vessels. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of ECG and 2D-ECHO in identifying coronary artery involvement were evaluated. Findings suggest ECG and 2D-ECHO as valuable tools in AMI diagnosis, with implications for patient management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
