In the largest study looking at this topic by Mizusawa et al., She has not had a heart catheterization or after this event so the presence or absence of CAD is still unknown.
Lead I has a definitively hyperacute T-wave without STE. She also had non-acute CAD of the left main (50%) and LCX (75%). Patel et al., Krucoff et al.) Patel et al. Krucoff et al. Schomig et al. This ECG shows persistent Occlusion MI but does not meet STEMI criteria. II, III, aVF, and V6 have STD.
