October 24, 2003 — Identifying simple clinical indices, such as QRS duration, to predict mortality in patients at high risk of sudden arrhythmic death is more important than ever, especially since ...

May 22, 2012 (Kuopio, Finland) — Results of a new study published online May 21, 2012 in Circulation show that even a moderately prolonged QRS duration may suggest heightened risk for sudden cardiac ...

QRS Duration Independently Tied to Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death Prolonged QRS duration is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). (HealthDay News) – Prolonged QRS duration is ...

Among patients hospitalized with heart failure, having a longer than normal QRS duration (a measurement of the electrical conducting time of the heart on an electrocardiogram (ECG)] appears to predict ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Cardiac resynchronization therapy may be detrimental in patients with right bundle branch block and a very wide QRS duration, defined as 180 ms or more, according to findings presented ...

Choice of Psoriasis Treatment Affects CVD Event Rates Increased QRS duration on electrocardiogram (ECG) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality. (HealthDay News) – Increased QRS ...

Genetic variation at 22 loci influences the duration of the QRS interval, a large international collaborative study published in Nature Genetics has shown. People with long QRS intervals are at ...

QRS duration (QRSd) is one of several measures of heart function recorded during a routine electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a composite of waves showing the length of time it takes for an electrical ...

Biventricular pacing is an excellent option for certain patients with advanced HF. Also known as “cardiac resynchronization therapy,” biventricular pacing has been shown to improve HF symptoms in a ...

QRS interval widening appears to be highly specific for the diagnosis of hyperkalemia in patients with end-stage kidney disease. ECG changes, in general, have poor sensitivities for hyperkalemia in ...

Among patients hospitalized with heart failure, having a longer than normal QRS duration appears to predict a high risk of death or rehospitalization within a few months after discharge, according to ...
