Inferior Leads are lead II,III,aVF

Q waves in the inferior leads on an ECG indicate previous myocardial infarction affecting the inferior wall of the heart. They represent an area of scar tissue where the electrical activity is disrupted, resulting in a negative deflection. The presence of pathological Q waves suggests permanent damage to the heart muscle in that region.
ECG leads are electrodes placed on the skin that detect the electrical signals produced by the heart. These signals are then amplified and recorded by the ECG machine, which creates a visual representation of the heart's electrical activity on a graph.
The names of the ECG leads used to monitor heart activity are the standard limb leads (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF) and the precordial leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6).

A loose or disconnected wire.
Atrial depolarization in an ECG cycle is primarily represented by the P wave. This wave indicates the electrical activity that triggers the contraction of the atria. Leads II, III, and aVF are commonly used to visualize this process, but the P wave can be seen in all standard leads.

It's because NO test is perfect! ECG's computer is very good at recognizing something not 'normal'. It may not be able to tell you exactly what's wrong, but it knows that it's not usual. That's good enough for a computer's reading. This is why you need someone who has seen many ECG to interpret it.
Yes, leads placed incorrectly can create the appearance of an anterior infarct on an electrocardiogram (ECG) by altering the electrical signals detected. It is crucial to ensure proper placement of leads to obtain accurate ECG readings and avoid misinterpretation. Consulting with a healthcare provider or technician can help ensure correct lead placement for accurate monitoring.
