Why is it important?

Being a case of first MI, the axis deviation can help predict and prepare the patient for complications

Perspectives

A lot of factors play their role in the existing axis of the subject and a few associated complications have been studied here. In comparison to the available Western data, the setting here is a well -established South Indian hospital with a reputed cardiac care unit catering to a well literate population, and this can therefore act as a good reference point
