but st segment goes towards the current of injury. so it should be directed towards leads oriented to LV and as far as i know avr is not oriented to LV

axis is right and upper in LMCA- st elevation in aVR and V1, while there is ST dep in inferior leads.

With LMCA occlusion, the entire LV is ischemic. The ECG vector is directed towards the aVR…..hence the ST elevation

Q. Why is there ST elevation in aVR with left main disease ?
