Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Accuracy
Biphasic T wave in leads V2 and V3 12.30% 99.00% 80.00% 78.40% 78.50%
Symmetrically inverted T wave (≥ 0.10 mV) in leads V2 and V3 12.30% 97.10% 57.10% 78.10% 77.00%
Symmetrically inverted T wave (≥ 0.20 mV) in leads V2 and V3 9.20% 97.60% 54.50% 77.60% 76.70%
Symmetrically inverted T wave (≥ 0.30 mV) in leads V2 and V3 3.10% 99.00% 50% 76.70% 76.30%
Either biphasic or symmetrically inverted T wave (≥ 0.10 mV) in leads V2 and V3 24.60% 96.20% 66.70% 80.40% 79.20%

PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value.
