We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to October 2015 for eligible studies. We selected studies with fQRS defined with 12-lead ECG during the index hospitalization of STEMI/NSTEMI. Primary outcomes were in-hospital and long-term cardiovascular events. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in fQRS (+) group (99/733; 13.5%) compared to fQRS (-) group (47/1293; 3.6%) (OR 4.03 95% CI 1.81-8.94; P = 0.0006). Long-term mortality rate was higher in fQRS (+) group (89/473; 18.8%) compared to fQRS (-) group (54/1009; 5.3%) (OR 3.93 95% CI 1.92-8.05; P = 0.0002). In addition the frequency of long-term MACE was higher in fQRS (+) group (46.9%) compared to fQRS (-) group (14.6%) (OR 5.13 95% CI 2.77-9.51; P < 0.00001) CONCLUSION: Presence of fQRS on admission ECG was found to be predictor of mortality, MACE, deterioration of LV function, and presence of multivessel disease in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI.

BackgroundDespite advances in coronary revascularization and in heart failure management, myocardial infarction survivors remain at substantially increased mortality risk. Precise risk assessment and risk‐adapted follow‐up care are crucial to improve their outcomes. Recently, the fragmented QRS complex, i.e. the presence of additional spikes within the QRS complexes on a 12‐lead electrocardiogram, has been discussed as a potential non‐invasive risk predictor in cardiac patients.HypothesisThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic meaning of the fragmented QRS complex in myocardial infarction survivors.Methods609 patients with narrow QRS complexes <120 ms were included in a prospective cohort study while hospitalized for myocardial infarction and followed for 5 years.ResultsThe prevalence of the fragmented QRS complex in these patients amounted to 46.8% (285 patients). These patients had no increased hazard of all‐cause death (HR 0.84, 95%–CI 0.45–1.57, p = 0.582) with a mortality rate of 6.0% compared to 7.1% in patients without QRS fragmentations. Furthermore, the risks of cardiac death (HR 1.28, 95%–CI 0.49–3.31, p = 0.613) and of non‐cardiac death (HR 0.6, 95%–CI 0.26–1.43, p = 0.25) were not significantly different in patients with QRS fragmentations. However, patients with QRS fragmentations had increased serum creatine kinase concentrations (1438U/l vs. 1160U/l, p = 0.039) and reduced left ventricular ejection fractions (52% vs. 54%, p = 0.011).ConclusionsThe hypothesis that QRS fragmentation might be a prognostic parameter in survivors of myocardial infarction was not confirmed. But those with QRS fragmentation had larger myocardial infarctions, as measured by creatine kinase and left ventricular ejection fraction.
