In-hospital Prognostic Value of Electrocardiographic Parameters Except ST-Segment Changes in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Literature Review and Future Perspectives

Electrocardiography (ECG) remains an irreplaceable tool in the management of the patients with myocardial infarction, with evaluation of the QRS and ST segment being the present major focus. Several ECG parameters have already been proposed to have prognostic value with regard to both in-hospital and long-term follow-up of patients. In this review, we discuss various ECG parameters other than ST segment changes, particularly with regard to their in-hospital prognostic importance. Our review not only evaluates the prognostic segments and parts of ECG, but also highlights the need for an integrative approach in a big  data to re-assess the parameters reported to predict in-hospital prognosis.
