Anterior Hyperacute T-waves diagnostic of LAD Occlusion

This series of ECGs from a patient with LAD occlusion shows hyperacute T waves in precordial leads, as well as ST elevation in V1-V3 and aVL. The second ECG was 16 minutes after the first and shows markedly increased ST elevation. The patient was taken for rapid PCI. The third ECG is post-reperfusion.
