AB  - BACKGROUND: Even though the relationship between syntax score (SS) and fragmented 
      QRS (fQRS) has been studied, the relation between syntax score II (SS II) and 
      fQRS in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is undefined. We 
      aimed to define the relationship between fQRS and SS II for the evaluation of 
      extension and complexity of coronary artery disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This 
      study enrolled 167 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention 
      (pPCI) for STEMI. The standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) were obtained 
      from all patients before and after PCI. SS and SS II were calculated in all 
      patients. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to all patients. RESULTS: 
      Thirty-nine patients (23.4%) had fQRS on their ECGs. The median SS II was 27 
      (22.9-33.9). SS II values in the fQRS(+) group were statistically significantly 
      higher than that of the fQRS(-) group (35.2 (26.4-47.2) vs. 25.7 (22.1-30.7), 
      p < 0.001). Also, in patients with higher SS II, there was significantly higher 
      number of ECG derivations with fQRS. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of fQRS and high 
      number of derivations with fQRS on ECG may be associated with high SS II in 
      patients undergoing pPCI for STEMI.
