ECG index may serve as a test to detect patients with LV systolic dysfunction
January 9th, 2005
A recent report described QRS dispersion as an electrocardiographic index of systolic left ventricular dysfunction in patients with left bundle branch block. According to recent research from Greece, "The presence of complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) in patients with congestive heart failure has been proposed to be a factor that negatively affects left ventricular (LV) systolic function. The aim of [our] study was to evaluate the relative predictive value of QRS dispersion (QRSD) and QRS duration (QRSd) in relation to systolic performance of the left ventricle." E. Kountouris and colleagues of G Hatzikosta General Hospital reported, "The...
