متن کاملQRS fragmentation: diagnostic and prognostic significance.
Fragmentation of QRS (fQRS) complex is an easily evaluated non-invasive electrocardiographic parameter. Fragmentation of narrow QRS is defined as presence of an additional R wave (R') or notching in the nadir of the S wave, or the presence of > 1 R' in 2 contiguous leads, corresponding to a major coronary artery territory on the resting 12-lead ECG. Fragmentation of wide complex QRS consists of...
