Modifications in Electrocardiographic and Vectordardiographic Morphological Parameters in Elderly Males as Result of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes Mellitus.

Heart and Brain Center of Excellence, University Hospital Pleven, 5804 Pleven, Bulgaria.
Purpose: Morphological electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic features have been used in the detection of cardiovascular diseases and prediction of the risk of cardiac death for a long time. The objective of the current study was to investigate the morphological electrocardiographic modifications in the presence of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus in an elderly male population, most of them with multiple comorbidities.
Methods: A database of ECG recordings from the Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging (ILSA-CNR), created to evaluate physiological and pathological modifications related to aging, was considered.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a good treatment for heart failure accompanied by ventricular conduction abnormalities. Current ECG criteria in international guidelines seem to be suboptimal to select heart failure patients for CRT. The criteria QRS duration and left bundle branch block (LBBB) QRS morphology insufficiently detect left ventricular activation delay, which is required for benefit from CRT.

Background: Patients with atrial septal defects and pulmonary hypertension would benefit from early identification and treatment of pulmonary hypertension prior to closure. Noninvasive screening tools for pulmonary hypertension are inadequate. Electrocardiography, though readily available, has so far been of limited screening utility in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Background: QRS duration and morphology including left bundle branch block (LBBB) are the most widely used electrocardiogram (ECG) markers for assessing ventricular dyssynchrony and predicting heart failure (HF). However, the vectorcardiographic QRS area may more accurately identify delayed left ventricular activation and HF development.
Objective: We investigated the association between QRS area and incident HF risk in patients with LBBB.
Spatial peak and mean QRS-T angles: A comparison of similar but different emerging risk factors for cardiac death.

Background: The spatial peak and mean QRS-T angles are scientifically but not clinically established risk factors for cardiovascular events including cardiac death. The study aims were to compare these angles, assess their association with hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM), and explore the relation between the mean QRS-T angle and the ventricular gradient (VG; reflecting electrical heterogeneity), which both are derived from the QRSarea and Tarea vectors.
Methods: Altogether 1094 participants (aged 50-65 years, 550 women) from the pilot of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study with Frank vectorcardiographic recordings were included and divided into 5 subgroups: apparently healthy n = 320; HT n = 311; DM n = 33; DM + HT n = 53; miscellaneous conditions n = 377.
