The authors discussed the efficacy of ECG in distinction of reversible and irreversible myocardial damage. On the basis of continuous ECG monitoring of a patient, suffering from acute ischemic syndrome, it was established, that neither the appearance of R wave reduction nor that of the transient Q wave (besides the widely accepted ST segment elevation) do not signify the fact of transmural myocardial infarction. the classical rules in indication of myocardial rescue therapy should be expanded and ECG monitoring is of crucial importance in indication and evaluation of myocardial rescue therapy in acute myocardial ischemic syndrome.
