Selected
anterior wall/posterior wall of the heart
"infarction of the anterior/ posterior wall of the heart" or simply
"anterior/posterior [myocardial] infarction"
e.g.:
anterior myocardial infarction
Infarction involving the anterior wall of the heart, and producing indicative electrocardiographic changes in the anterior chest leads and often in limb lead I.

posterior myocardial infarction
Infarction involving the posterior wall of the heart; also formerly used erroneously of infarction's involving the inferior or diaphragmatic surface of the heart.

There are two basic types of acute myocardial infarction:
* Transmural: associated with atherosclerosis involving major coronary artery. It can be subclassified into anterior, posterior, or inferior. Transmural infarcts extend through the whole thickness of the heart muscle and are usually a result of complete occlusion of the area's blood supply.

Mean value of resting ejection fraction for the group or <b<anterior-posterior infarction subgroups did not change from initial or predischarge values. The 27 patients with anterior infarction showed no change in ejection fraction during exercise, while the 31 patients with posterior infarction increased their ejection fraction from 53±11% to 57±12% (P<0.001).

inferior myocardial infarction
Hi, Jonathan:
Hinterwandinfarkt is a inferior myocardial infarction
Vorderwandinfarkt is an anterior myocardial infarction
HDH :-)

Vorderwandinfarkt is an anterior myocardial infarction

Lirka
: To clarify: True posterior MI is rarely seen, it's most often seen with inferior infarction:"inferoposterior MI". That's what they mean by Hinterwand is in DE.

Discussion
ECG changes are seen in anterior precordial leads V1-3, but are the mirror image of an anteroseptal MI:
Increased R wave amplitude and duration (i.e., a "pathologic R wave" is a mirror image of a pathologic Q)
R/S ratio in V1 or V2 >1 (i.e., prominent anterior forces)
Hyperacute ST-T wave changes: i.e., ST depression and large, inverted T waves in V1-3
Late normalization of ST-T with symmetrical upright T waves in V1-3
Often seen with inferior infarction: inferoposterior MI
recurrent anterior/posterior myocardial infarction or recurring anterior/posterior myocardial infarction. There are plenty of good sources.
"recidivistic"??? do you mean recurrent?
