Relationship Between QT Interval and Outcome in Low-Flow Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis With Low Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction [Valvular Heart Disease]

Conclusions In patients with LF-LG AS and reduced LVEF, longer QTc interval was associated with worse LV function and increased risk of death. Assessment of QTc may provide a simple and inexpensive tool to enhance risk stratification in LF-LG AS patients. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
