Abstract

This single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted at a tertiary-care center over a span of two years. Patients presenting with acute Anterior-Wall STEMI were included as a study population. The subgroups included qRBBB pattern on ECG and non-qRBBB group. Among 1128 patients included in the study, 100 (11.28 %) patients presented with qRBBB pattern. Increased risk of cardiogenic shock, increased hospital-stay, a higher Killip class on presentation, high incidence of recanalized IRA, remarkably depressed LVEF were significantly associated with qRBBB-MI, which is a menacing form of ACS that leads not only to a high mortality but also to a long-term morbidity.
