Sex and Race Differences in QRS Duration. [PDF]
The study investigated healthy subjects to study sex and race differences in QRS durations and the dependency of QRS durations on heart rates and other physiologic correlates.QRS duration and its heart rate dependency were evaluated in 420 615 electrocardiograms obtained in 523 healthy subjects including 111 females of African origin, 130 Caucasian ...

Assessment of QRS duration and presence of fragmented QRS in patients with celiac disease. [PDF]
Background: Celiac Disease (CD) is characterized by small intestine involvement. However, cardiac manifestations may also be seen in the clinical course. The significance of the QRS prolongation and the presence of QRS fragmentation (fQRS) has been previously studied in many chronic inflammatory disorders as an independent predictor of cardiac ...

Evaluation of QRS duration and presence of fragmented QRS in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. [PDF]
Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is mostly characterized by gastrointestinal tract involvement, however can also be accompanied with cardiac manifestations. QRS prolongation and the presence of QRS fragmentation (fQRS) have been previously evaluated in many chronic inflammatory diseases, as an independent predictor of cardiac events.

Postoperative changes in QRS duration and long-term mortality after septal myectomy [PDF]
Objectives: To evaluate whether change in QRS duration (ΔQRS), defined as postoperative QRS duration minus preoperative QRS duration, after septal myectomy for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) has prognostic significance for all-cause ...

Electrocardiographic QRS duration is influenced by body mass index and sex [PDF]
Background: Electrocardiogram (ECG) measured QRS duration has been shown to influence cardiovascular outcomes. However, there is paucity of data on whether ECG QRS duration is influenced by obesity and sex in large populations.

Shorter perioperative QRS duration and a leftward frontal-plane QRS axis are associated with anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy: a hypothesis-generating study [PDF]
BackgroundAnastomotic leakage (AL) after esophagectomy is a serious complication for which early physiological signals remain limited. We conducted a hypothesis-generating analysis of whether routinely reported electrocardiographic QRS measurements were ...

Incremental changes in QRS duration as predictor for cardiovascular disease: a 21-year follow-up of a randomly selected general population [PDF]
The QRS complex has been shown to be a prognostic marker in coronary artery disease. However, the changes in QRS duration over time, and its predictive value for cardiovascular disease in the general population is poorly studied.

GWAS of QRS duration identifies new loci specific to Hispanic/Latino populations. [PDF]
BackgroundThe electrocardiographically quantified QRS duration measures ventricular depolarization and conduction. QRS prolongation has been associated with poor heart failure prognosis and cardiovascular mortality, including sudden death. While previous
