are pathologic Qs seen anywhere that an old MI was? For instance, if this patient had only a previous inferior MI, would you just see the pathologic Qs in the inferior leads?
It means sometime in the past this individual has had an MI, but its too far to determine how old it is. The patient had an MI in the anterior/lateral portion of the heart.

Yes, exactly. They help to localize prior infarcts. Great question! 👍🏻👌
What does "Possible Anterolateral Infract, Age Undetermined" mean? What does it mean, is it bad?
