When I saw this (presented at a conference), I immediately thought it looked like Thype 1 Brugada phenocopy (in other words, Type 1 Brugada ECG pattern ).

In this episode of Good Reads, we look into the early stages of STEMI progression and how to identify critical ECG changes before obvious ST segment elevations appear. Using a 61-year-old male patient as a case study, we explore the significance of reciprocal lead changes, specifically in lead aVL, during early injury and ischemia phases. Learn to recognize early signs such as ST segment depression, T wave inversion, and checkmark T waves to improve early STMEI detection.
