Advantage of V4 R ?
V4R records remote RV

They vary in sensitivity and specificity (especially in the first few hours after an infarct), and you have to correlate them... very quickly and dramatically after MI (within 2-8 hours). It returns to normal within 1-3 days, which makes it a good test to use in diagnosing re-infarction.
