Myocardial infarction location based on coronary vessel involvement?,”RCA occlusion can cause acute inferior and posterior wall myocardial infarctions (MIs). Inferior wall MI presents with ST-segment elevations in the inferior leads (II, III, and aVF). ST-segment depression in leads V1 and V2 in this setting usually suggests a posterior wall MI. Inferior MI is also associated with hypotension, bradycardia
