Predictive role of fragmented QRS in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Objective: Fragmented QRS (fQRS), as defined by additional spikes in the QRS complex of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), is a marker of scarred myocardium. In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), fQRS is a predictor of heart failure (HF) and other major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The s...
