Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: QRS duration is considered to be an indicator of adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF), and genetic polymorphisms may be involved in this conductivity impairment. We studied the prognostic impact of the QRS widening rate (QRS-WR) on patients with HF and the influence of the matrix metalloproteinases gene polymorphisms on the QRS-WR. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 184...
