Electrocardiographic Predictors of Mortality in Acute Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction With Right Bundle Branch Block and Right Precordial Q-Waves (qRBBB).

Background: Published data on the clinical, electrocardiographic, and angiographic profile of acute anterior-wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with right bundle branch block with q in leads V1, V2 (qRBBB) are scarce. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of short-term mortality and in-hospital complications in acute qRBBB STEMI and identify the electrocardiographic (ECG) predictors of a poor outcome.

Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study among the patients with acute anterior-wall STEMI and qRBBB pattern on ECG.
