Frontal T-wave axis deviation and risk of sudden cardiac death in coronary syndromes
Severity of frontal TA deviation is a robust, graded marker of SCD risk in angiography patients, strongest in elective and postacute settings; QRSTA is supportive but weaker. These automated, low-cost metrics could augment SCD risk stratification beyond LVEF, warranting external validation and clinical utility testing.
