Abstract
We read with great interest the article entitled “The clinical correlates and prognostic impact of QRS prolongation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: A single-center cohort study” by Xiaoping Li et al. [ [1] Li X. Luo R. Chan C.P. et al. The clinical correlates and prognostic impact of QRS prolongation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: a single-center cohort study. Int J Cardiol. 2014; 172: 475-557 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar ]. They observed that the prolongation of the QRS duration at admission is a predictor of mortality in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. In their study, the patients with QRS ≥ 120 ms had a higher all-cause mortality rate than those with QRS < 120 ms and that QRS duration was a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with DCM even after adjustment for the classic risk factors.
