Beyond the Frontal QRS-T Angle: Toward Integrated Cardiovascular Phenotyping in Acute Ischemic Stroke

, We read with great interest the recent article by Usalp and Bağırtan on the prognostic value of the frontal QRS-T angle in patients with ischemic stroke. 1 The study provides valuable evidence that an increased frontal QRS-T angle is independently associated with long-term mortality, highlighting the potential utility of this simple and readily available electrocardiographic marker for risk stratification in patients with ischemic stroke. While these findings strengthen the clinical relevance of ECG-derived markers, they also provide an opportunity to explore more comprehensive approaches to cardiovascular risk stratification in ischemic stroke.
