Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide with similar

among patients with STelevation in aVR.
Methods: This cross-sectionalstudywas conducted inDepartment of cardiology,Punjab institute of cardiology,
Lahore. Sample size of 151 cases is calculated with 95% confidence level,7%margin of error and taking
expected percentage of LMS is 74.2%. The data was collected through non probability consecutive sampling
technique.
Results: Mean age of the study population was 55.54±10.1 years. Majority of the cases were male 117(77.5%)
and 34(22.5%) were female which were less in quantity. Mean body mass index was 28.61±2.58.
Conclusion: Majority of the cases developed left mainstem disease who have been diagnosed with ST
elevation in aVR. A significant difference of the diabetic versus non diabetic was observed who have been
