ABSTRACT
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has a high mortality rate and poor prognosis for patients. The primary causes of death are arrhythmia and heart failure. For patients admitted because of myocardial infarction, various risk evaluations are initiated to foresee possible complications. The thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score, which can be used to predict the prognosis and the need for revascularisation, is the most convenient and commonly used system, but is inadequate for AMI patients on admittance. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) has been shown to be a valuable electrocardiographic (ECG) index for predicting the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease. Also, fQRS is considered to predict an increased likelihood of a poor outcome and mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), even for some successfully revascularized AMI patients. So what would happen if fQRS and the TIMI risk score were combined? This study focused on the investigation of the short-term prognostic value of fQRS combined with the TIMI risk score for patients with AMI.
