Combined use of frontal plane QRS-T angle and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in the risk prediction of ischemic cardiomyopathy in STEMI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frontal plane QRS-T angle (fQRS-T) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are highly important parameters that well-predict unfavorable outcomes in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI).There are limited data on the predictive significance of ischemic cardiomyopathy (I-CMP) from the combination of fQRS-T and PLR in STEMI, compared to using fQRS-T and PLR alone.

Aim

We aimed to evaluate the ability of the combination of fQRS-T and PLR routinely obtained on admission to identify STEMI patients at risk of I-CMP.

Method

Six hundred and thirty-eight consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention between 2018 and 2021 were included. The assessment of I-CMP was conducted through two-dimentional (2D)-echoc
