Table 5. Comparison of fQRS (+) and fQRS (−) groups with regard to in-hospital MACE.
fQRS (+) group (n = 126) | fQRS (–) group (n = 90) | p value | |
Cardiovascular mortality, n (%) | 6 (4.76) | 1 (1.11) | 0.243 |
Reinfarction, n (%) | 1 (0.79) | 1 (1.11) | 0.810 |
TVR, n (%) | 1 (0.79) | 1 (1.11) | 0.810 |
Advanced heart failure, n (%) | 27 (21.43) | 4 (4.44) | < 0.001 |
Stroke, n (%) | 11 (8.73) | 7 (7.78) | 0.803 |
VT/VF, n (%) | 8 (6.35) | 6 (6.67) | 0.926 |
AVB, n (%) | 10 (7.94) | 7 (7.78) | 0.966 |
MACE | 64 (50.79) | 27 (30.00) | 0.003 |
Mean values (standard deviation) and % (n) were reported for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
AVB, atrioventricular block; fQRS, fragmented QRS; MACE, major adverse cardiac event; TVR, target vessel revascularization; VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia.
