Abstract
The electrocardiogram is the mainstay approach for diagnosing a myocardial infarction (MI). The diagnosis of an old MI and the identification of myocardial scar via the electrocardiogram are difficult because there are no other specific signs for a non-Q-wave MI. In this article, we will review the fragmented QRS and its role in identifying myocardial scar and depolarization abnormalities in patients with coronary artery disease.Entities:
