Comment on “A new electrocardiogram finding for massive pulmonary embolism: ST elevation in lead aVR with ST depression in leads I and V4 to V6 ”

In a study that we performed, the number of leads with negative T waves, the presence of right bundle-branch block, and ST-segment elevation in leads V1 (odds ratio, 3.99; P = .00017) and aVR (odds ratio, 2.49; P = .011) were independent predictors of complications during hospitalization [2].
