Reply to Letter to the Editor: Determining ECG Parameters for Electrical Risk Score in Patients with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Despite all technological advances, 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) remains one of the most important diagnostic tools in cardiology practice.To date, many different ECG parameters have been described and the clinical significance of each of them has been demonstrated.Electrical risk score (ERS) is also a newly developed parameter, composed of 6 simple parameters including heart rate, presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), QTc interval, Tp-e interval, QRS transition zone, and frontal QRS-T angle. 3The presence of LVH is one of the parameters assessed in ERS.Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell criteria are the most used electrocardiographic parameters to detect the presence of LVH in daily medical practice.We are grateful to ncel et al 2 for pointing out this important topic.
