WHAT’S NEW?
Ours is the first research study that demonstrated an association
between frontal QRS-T angle and severe-very severe COPD. The primary
finding of our study was that the patients with severe-very severe COPD
had significantly higher frontal QRS-T angle than patients with
mild-moderate COPD.It can be concluded that the patients who have an
increased frontal QRS-T angle on initial ECG will have worse pulmonary
function test results than the patients who do not have.
