- Summary. The vectorcardiogram (VCG) is commonly stated to be more sensitive than the 12‐lead electrocardiogram (ECG) for the diagnosis of inferior myocardial infarction. However, a recent study indicated that VCG is not superior to ECG for this diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of VCG and ECG criteria and to indicate possible explanations for the disagreement between earlier studies. Accordingly, we studied 65 patients with inferior myocardial infarction verified by left ventriculography or 201‐TI myocardial scintigraphy and 351 normal subjects. Sensitivity was 69% (45/65) and 43% (28/65) for the VCG and ECG criteria, respectively. This difference was highly significant (P<0·001). Among the normal subjects there were only three with false positive VCG and none with false positive ECG. We conclude that both VCG and ECG criteria for the diagnosis of inferior myocardial infarction are highly specific and that VCG criteria have greater sensitivity than ECG criteria.
