QRS-T angle as a predictor of pulmonary arterial hypertension: A review

Abstract

Spatial QRS-T angle is a vector projection of ventricular gradient, reflecting the heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization. The QRS vector is projected into three dimensional (3D) space to obtain the frontal QRSf vector and Tf vector. The frontal QRS-T Angle can be obtained by simple calculation. In several studies of diseases that cause pulmonary hypertension, there has been evidence that changes in the QRS-T Angle can predict disease. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a cheap and noninvasive test, and its clinical significance in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension should be further studied.
