Aslanger Pattern
The Aslanger pattern is an ECG finding in inferior occlusion MI with multivessel disease where competing injury and ischemia vectors prevent classic contiguous ST-elevation. It typically shows isolated ST elevation in lead III, V1 greater than V2, and reciprocal lateral ST depression, and is associated with delayed cath and worse outcomes if missed.
