- Abstract
- Background: The mechanisms underlying high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) are incompletely understood. One theory is that HF-QRS are related to the conduction velocity of the heart. The purpose was to test this hypothesis by comparing HF-QRS in patients with left or right bundle branch block (LBBB and RBBB, respectively) to those in healthy subjects and in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: Twenty-two patients with LBBB, 19 patients with RBBB, 63 normal subjects, and 64 patients with IHD were included. Twelve-lead electrocardiograms were analyzed in the frequency interval 150 to 250 Hz. Results: The study showed reduced HF-QRS in patients with LBBB compared with healthy subjects and patients with IHD. The difference,... (More)

Twelve-lead electrocardiograms were analyzed in the frequency interval 150 to 250 Hz. Results: The study showed reduced HF-QRS in patients with LBBB compared with healthy subjects and patients with IHD. The difference, however, was small in lead V-1 and V-2. In patients with RBBB, no differences in HF-QRS could be detected except in few leads; among those is lead V-1. Conclusion: The results support the theory that HF-QRS are related to the conduction velocity of the heart. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (Less)
