Summary:Aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between fQRS presence and in hospital mortality in patients admitting for the first time with acute STEMI.Material-Methods 248 patients admitted for to Dokuz Eylul University Hospital Cardiology Department fort he first time with acute STEMI between 01 January 2009 and 01 July 2011 are included in our study. Additionally when compared to patients without fQRS, patients with fQRS were found to have lower left ventricular ejection fraction (35±7% vs 47±6%; p
