ST Elevation Leads II, III, aVf. Depression in aVl and I(borderline, hard to make out in this picture); Inferior MI. Needs MONA protocol and PCI.
ACS(inferior MI),need morphine to stop chest pain and add aspirin 300mg and right side ECG and vital sign check up and emergent invasive CAG and stenting9PTCA)..
Agree with inferior MI. Would hold the Nitro until 15-Lead ECG completed. If right side MI, would start IV and run 1000 cc fluid bolus prior to Nitro. ASA if not allergic. Transport to a cath lab.
