Abstract:Backround and aimsProlonged QRS duration (≥ 110 ms) and coronary artery disease are risk factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD). We explored the SCD risk associated with intraventricular conduction disorders – a prolonged QRS duration of 110–119 ms, right bundle branch block (RBBB), left bundle branch block (LBBB), and a nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (NIVCD) – in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).MethodsThis is a retrospective study of 9,700 consecutive, invasively treated ACS patient… Show more
