Fig 1 Electrocardiograms: (A) initial recording (12 lead); (B) precordial leads recorded approximately 36 hours later, “coving” of ST with negative T wave. (C) Precordial leads recorded 11 days later and 13 days from pain episode, exhibit a symmetrically negative T wave typical of coronary insufficiency.
