The electrocardiogram recorded 2 hours later during thrombolytic therapy. The precordial leads were recorded on the right side of the chest.

Figure 3
Right coronary cinearteriograms recorded a week later in the cranial (a) left anterior and (b) right anterior oblique projections. In each, the culprit lesion is seen as an irregular, hazy narrowing (arrow) just proximal to the first of 3 right ventricular branches. l indicates left ventricular branches; p, posterior descending artery.
