What does this research mean for the field?

The presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) on an admission 12-lead ECG is an independent predictor of increased long-term cardiovascular mortality and re-infarction in patients with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Comparison

Presence of fragmented QRS on a 12-lead ECG on… vs Absence of fragmented QRS on a 12-lead ECG on…

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

median 18 (13-24) months

Implication

May support NSTEMI risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
