Background: The association of fragmented QRS (fQRS) with many cardiac pathologies such as cardiac fibrosis has been described previously. Paraaortic adipose tissue (PAT) is thought to be associated with many cardiac diseases and there is only one publication on its echocardiographic evaluation.
Aims: To describe the possible relationship between fQRS and PAT.
Fragmented QRS complexes in electrocardiogram and their relationship with somatic symptoms in postmenopausal women.
Menopause

From the Ankara Etlik City Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: Menopause significantly impacts cardiovascular health, yet the relationship between myocardial abnormalities and noncardiac symptoms in postmenopausal women remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the association between fragmented QRS waves (fQRS) positivity on electrocardiograms (ECG) and somatic symptoms in postmenopausal women.
Methods: We included 623 postmenopausal women attending a menopause clinic for routine annual gynecological examinations.

Female sex is one of the Long COVID (LC) risk factors; however, the LC predictors in females have not been established. This study was conducted to assess the influence of LC on the cardiovascular system and to assess the age-independent predictors of LC in females. : Patient information and the course of the disease with symptoms were collected in women at least 12 weeks after COVID-19 recovery.

Introduction: Early detection of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is crucial due to its association with severe complications such as ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Advanced imaging techniques like cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) are effective in detecting CS but not easily accessible. The optimal method for selecting patients for advanced screening remains uncertain.

Article Synopsis
- Acute pulmonary embolism can lead to rapid collapse and is often fatal, with recent studies showing ECG characteristics can help predict patient outcomes.
- This retrospective study analyzed the ECG data of 106 hospitalized pulmonary embolism patients from 2016 to 2020 to determine the frequency of fragmented QRS and its prognostic implications.
- Results revealed that fragmented QRS was found in 26.2% of patients, which correlated significantly with higher rates of cardiogenic shock, in-hospital mortality, and the use of advanced treatments like thrombolysis and embolectomy.
