Abstract: Background: ECG plays a valuable role in identification of culprit lesion in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). But in non-ST elevated ACS, the role of ECG is not very specific. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes are novel electrocardiographic signals,which reflect myocardial conduction delays in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). fQRS can play a significant role in the diagnosis of culprit lesion in patients with non-ST elevated ACS.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the correlation of fQRS with coronary angiography to identify culprit lesion in patients with non-ST elevated ACS.....
Keywords: Fragmented QRS complex, Coronary artery disease, Culprit coronary artery, Acute coronary syndrome, Electrocardiogram
