概要 OBJECTIVES:This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of the time interval from left ventricular (LV) pacing to the earliest onset of QRS complex (S-QRS) for long-term clinical outcomes in patients who underwent cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).BACKGROUND:The electrical latency during LV pacing evaluated by S-QRS is associated with local tissue property, and the S-QRS ≥37 ms has been previously proposed as an independent predictor of mechanical response to CRT.METHODS:This study included 82 consecutive patients with heart failure with reduced LV ejection fraction (≤35%) and a wide QRS complex (≥120 ms) who underwent CRT. Patients were divided into a short S-QRS group (SS-QRS; <37 ms) and a long S-QRS group (LS-QRS; ≥37 ms). The primary endpoint was total mortality, including LV assist device implantation or heart transplantation, whereas the secondary endpoint was total mortality or HF hospitalization.RESULTS:S-QRS was 25.9 ± 5.3 ms in SS-QRS and 51.5 ± 13.7 ms in LS-QRS (p < 0.01), and baseline QRS duration and electrical activation at the LV pacing site (i.e., Q-LV) were similar. During mean follow-up of 44.5 ± 21.1 months, 24 patients (29%) reached the primary endpoint, whereas the secondary endpoints were observed in 47 patients (57%). LS-QRS had significantly worse event-free survival for both endpoints. LS-QRS was an independent predictor of total mortality (hazard ratio: 2.6; 95% confidence interval: 1.11 to 6.12; p = 0.03) and the secondary composite events (hazard ratio: 2.4; 95% confidence interval: 1.31 to 4.33; p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:The S-QRS ≥37 ms at the LV pacing site was a significant predictor of total mortality and HF hospitalization. S-QRS-guided optimal LV lead placement is critical in patients who receive CRT.
