Abstract

QRS duration is an established risk factor among patients with heart failure. How change in QRS duration relates to heart failure outcomes has had limited study. In this post-hoc analysis of the Beta-Blocker Evaluation of Survival Trial, we demonstrated that QRS duration change from baseline to 3 months is independently associated with long-term survival and left ventricle ejection fraction.
