ECG marker associated with PTE mortality only univariately; leaves open independent prognostic value beyond shock.
Does ST elevation in lead aVR predict hospital mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
ST elevation in lead aVR indicates hemodynamic instability in acute pulmonary embolism but is not an independent predictor of hospital mortality when accounting for clinical shock.
Pourafkari et al. (2016) studied this question.
