Cardiovascular outcomes after cardiac resynchronization therapy in cardiac amyloidosis

2021

Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is highly effective in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left bundle block branch. In cardiac amyloidosis (CA) patients, left ventricular dysfunction and conduction defects are common, but the potential of CRT to improve cardiac remodelling and survival in this particular setting remains undefined. We investigated cardiovascular outcomes in CA patients after CRT implantation in terms of CRT echocardiographic response and major cardiovascular events (MACEs). Methods and results Our retrospective study included 47 CA patients implanted with CRT devices from January 2012 to Feb…

Prognostic value of fragmented QRS on a 12-lead ECG in patients with acute myocardial infarction

2013

Abstract Objective To investigate the determinants and the prognostic value of fragmented QRS (fQRS) after AMI. Patients and methods Prospective cohort of 307 consecutive patients with AMI. Main outcomes measured MACE (death plus non-fatal recurrent MI), hospitalization for an episode of heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia (VT or VF) at two years follow-up. Results On the serial 12-lead ECG recorded during the in-hospital stay, 162 (53%) had no fQRS ( no fQRS group ). 145 (47%) presented an fQRS, which was persistent in 108 (34%) patients ( persistent fQRS group ) and transient in 37 (12%) patients ( transient fQRS group ). Patients with a fragmented QRS (transient or persistent) were old…
