Non-invasive markers for sudden cardiac death risk stratification in dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common yet challenging cardiac disease. Great strides have been made in improving DCM prognosis due to heart failure but sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular arrhythmias remains significant and challenging to predict. High-risk patients can be effectively managed with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) but because identification of what is high risk is very limited, many patients unnecessarily experience the morbidity associated with an ICD implant and man… Show more

“…Fragmented QRS (f-QRS) pattern has been regarded as a promising electrocardiographic (ECG) risk-stratifier in various clinical conditions including dilated cardiomyopathy, etc. 1 , 2 Pathophysiologically, this phenomenon is uniformly agreed to denote an existing myocardial injury and scar formation leading to an eventual derangement in ventricular depolarization. 1 , 2 In their recently published article, Özdemir et al 1 have documented the prognostic value of f-QRS in the prediction of all-cause mortality in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).…”

Within this context, we would like to make further comments on their study findings and potential implications of f-QRS in the setting of COVID-19.…”
