Özet

BACKGROUND: Fragmented QRS complexes in the electrocardiograms (ECGs) of patients with coronary artery disease are associated with adverse cardiac events. However, there are limited data on its predictive usefulness in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular dyssynchrony is common in heart failure patients who have wide QRS intervals, but its frequency in patients with narrow QRS intervals is uncertain.
