Key result
Wider post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle linked to ~3.5-fold higher in-hospital mortality in STEMI.
Why the study?
No study had investigated the importance of post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle in STEMI patients for risk assessment and reperfusion success.
Does post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle predict in-hospital mortality and reperfusion success in patients with acute STEMI?
Population
248 patients with first acute STEMI undergoing pPCI or thrombolytic therapy between 2013 and 2014
Comparison
Baseline versus post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle
Design
Observational cohort study
Follow-up
In-hospital

May flag higher in-hospital mortality risk after STEMI; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without prospective validation.

Does post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle predict in-hospital mortality and reperfusion success in patients with acute STEMI?

Post-procedural frontal QRS-T angle is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and thrombolytic failure in patients with acute STEMI.
Çöllüoğlu et al. (2018) conducted an observational in acute STEMI (n=248). Post-procedural frontal plane QRS-T angle ≥89.6° vs. Post-procedural frontal plane QRS-T angle <89.6° was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 3.541, 95% CI 1.235-10.154, p=0.019). A post-procedural frontal plane QRS-T angle ≥89.6° was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute STEMI (OR 3.541; 95% CI 1.235-10.154; p=0.019).
