Why the study?
Does the electrocardiographic TW-Lambda pattern predict primary ventricular fibrillation and 30-day mortality in patients presenting with STEMI?
Does the electrocardiographic TW-Lambda pattern predict primary ventricular fibrillation and 30-day mortality in patients presenting with STEMI?
The electrocardiographic TW-Lambda pattern may be a useful marker for early risk stratification of primary ventricular fibrillation and 30-day mortality in patients presenting with STEMI.
May aid early risk stratification in STEMI; extends ECG predictor data but leaves validation for prospective trials.
= 0.042) remained independent predictors of mortality. A mediation analysis showed that the effect of TW-Lambda pattern on mortality was mediated mainly via the reduced LVEF. In conclusion, among patients presenting with STEMI, the electrocardiographic TW-Lambda pattern was associated with both PVF before PCI and 30-day mortality. Therefore, this ECG pattern may be useful for early risk stratification of STEMI.
