Proverbial wisdom counsels against risk and change, but sitting ducks fare worst of allJacobsen et al.1 suggest that T-waves on the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) of patients presenting with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes deserve another look. In particular, using a variation of quantitative T-wave analysis, initially derived from observations in the TRIM study, they report that patients in the non-invasive arm of FRISC II withMason Cooley
