A QS pattern in leads V1 and V2 is associated with septal scarring independent of scar etiology - A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study

Isolated septal myocardial infarction (MI) is traditionally characterized by the presence of pathological Q waves in leads V1 and V2 on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between this ECG pattern and septal scar on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
