Abstract
Background. In our opinion, the occurrence of QRS complex fragmentation in new-onset ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is an unfavorable prognostic sign. Description of the clinical case. This example describes the case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, with stenting of the infarction-dependent artery and the development of QRS complex fragmentation according to the electrocardiogram data. Conclusion. QRS complex fragmentation in patients with new-onset ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with may be an indicator of the complicated course of myocardial infarction.
