Answer 15

15.  Choice D is the correct answer.  There is ST depression seen in V1 and V2 and also in V3.  Since the posterior wall of the left ventricle depolarizes in the opposite direction of anterior wall it is seen as ST depression.  When in doubt you can obtain an eighteen lead EKG to prove it by putting the chest leads on the the patients posterior chest wall.  With an anterior MI you would see ST elevation in leads V1-V4.
