Abstract
Introduction: We aimed to introduce the prognostic value of simultaneously calculated fragmented QRS and Zwolle scores as a new scoring system in primary PCI of the STEMI patients.
Method: Two hundred fifty-nine STEMI patients were classified as fragmented QRS complex group (fQRS) and non-fragmented QRS complex group (non-fQRS) according to the fragmentation of QRS complex in electrocardiography. These two groups according to whether Zwolle score ≥3 were also classified as high Zwolle score with fQRS complex, high Zwolle score with the non-fQRS complex, the low Zwolle score with fQRS complex, and low Zwolle score with the non-fQRS complex group. The hospitalization data of the patients were analyzed.
Results: In the fQRS group compared with the non-fQRS group, wider QRS (105.2±9.7 vs. 88±7.1, p<0,001) as well as the higher Creatin Kinase-MB [med (IQR): 174 (123-199) vs. 102 (96-147), p<0,001] and creatinine (0.99 (0.87-1.2) vs. 0.83 (0.78-0.83), p<0.001) levels were detected. Killip scores of<1 [18(69.2) vs. 8(30.8),p<0.001] were more frequent. Adverse cardiac events were significantly higher in high Zwolle score with fQRS complex group.
Conclusion: Clinically, fQRS was associated with high adverse cardiac events ratio. Thus, utilization of Zwolle score along with the fragmented QRS is prognostically significant in primary PCI patients admitted with STEMI.

Key words: Zwolle score; fragmented QRS; acute myocardial infarction; adverse cardiac events.
