Article Synopsis
- Heart failure significantly contributes to health issues and mortality, and identifying which patients are at risk can be challenging; atrial fibrillation (AF) might be a key factor in improving outcomes.
- Researchers hypothesized that a prolonged QRS duration (QRSd) could indicate a higher prevalence of AF in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF).
- A study looked at 82 patients with HFPEF, finding a trend suggesting that a QRSd greater than 120 ms may be linked to AF, although the results were not statistically significant.
