Automated Quantification of Low-Amplitude Abnormal QRS Peaks From High-Resolution ECG Recordings Predicts Arrhythmic Events in Patients With Cardiomyopathy [Original Article]

Conclusions— QRSp measured from high-resolution digital 12-lead ECGs independently predicts ventricular tachyarrhythmias in ICD-eligible cardiomyopathy patients. This novel QRS morphology index has the potential to improve sudden death risk stratification and patient selection for prophylactic ICD therapy.
