$Figure 1. Aberrant conduction. The figure shows a supraventriclar extrasystole (an extra atrial impulse, discharged by an ectopic focus outside of the sinoatrial node). The supraventricular extrasystole arrives into the ventricles while the right bundle branch is still refractory, which is why it blocks the impulse. The resulting QRS-complex has a right bundle branch block pattern.$

Figure 3. STE-ACS (STEMI) is caused by a complete occlusion, which means that there is no flow in the artery. The ischemia will affect all layers of the myocardium, from the endocardium to the epicardium (in the region supplied by the occluded artery). This type of ischemia, which affects all myocardial layers, is referred to as transmural ischemia.
