An inferior myocardial infarction can look straightforward on an ECG but the pathophysiology behind it is far more important than just spotting ST elevation in leads II, III and aVF.

In this video, we break down what actually happens during an inferior MI, including:

- What an inferior MI is
- Which coronary artery is usually involved
- Why the right coronary artery matters
- How inferior wall ischaemia affects cardiac output
- Why bradycardia and hypotension can occur
- The role of the AV node
- Why right ventricular involvement changes the clinical picture
- What this means for pre-hospital and emergency clinicians

This video is aimed at student paramedics, ambulance clinicians, nurses, junior doctors and anyone wanting to understand myocardial infarction beyond pattern recognition.

By the end, you should have a clearer understanding of why an inferior MI can present with more than just chest pain and why some patients can deteriorate quickly despite what may initially look like a “smaller” infarct.
