Hi, usually the reciprocal leads are involved. The ST segments should not be more than 1 mm above or below the baseline. With a full-thickness infarct there may be ST depression over the reciprocal leads. ST depression ≥ 1 mm is significant. But a single finding may not be significant, but please check with your doctor. Regards.
