Inferior myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation is considered a low risk STEMI but 30\- 40% patients with inferior STEMI present complications during in\-hospital stay, which is associated with a bad prognosis. The aim of the study. The purpose of the study was to determine whether or not the ST segment changes in lead aVR could predict short and long term prognosis in inferior STEMI, depending on the mode of treatment, and to assess the correlation between electrocardiographic and angiographic data. Material and methods. The data of 320 consecutive patients with inferior STEMI were analyzed, 206 men and 114 women, in the average age of 65,6±11,1 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups \: group A– treated with primary angioplasty\-134 patients, 81 men and 53 women, in the average age of 66,1±10,6 years. Group B– treated not invasively \- 186 patients, 125 men and 61 women, in the average age of 65,2 ±11,9 years. The reperfusion treatment was applied in 230 \(72%\) patients, 160 \(70%\) men 70 \(30%\) women. During in\-hospital stay 29 \(9.0%\) deaths occurred, 7 \(7.3%\) deaths in the fibrinolytic group, 11 \(8.2%\) deaths in PCI patients and 11 \(12.2%\) deaths in patients without the reperfusion therapy. Results. ST segment changes in lead aVR were observed in 135 \(42.2%\) patients, ST elevation in 47 \(14.7%\), ST depression in 88 \(27.5%\) patients. In 185\(57.8%\) patient"]
