Fragmented QRS as a predictor of arrhythmic events in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Objectives This study aims to determine whether fragmented QRS (fQRS) in the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) at implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant can predict arrhythmic events using appropriate therapy delivered by the ICD as a surrogate. Background Hypertrophic obstructive cardio...

Appropriate therapy was validated by a blinded Core Lab. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. A p value of &lt;0.05 was considered significant. Results We included 102 patients from 13 centers. Mean age at implant was 41.16 ± 18.25 years, 52 % were male. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 61.56 ± 9.46 % and two thirds had heart failure according to the New York Heart Association class I.
