Association between fragmented QRS and exercise intolerance in hypertensive patients: the relation with coronary flow.

CONCLUSION: FQRS is frequent and an independent predictor of reduced exercise tolerance in hypertensive patients. More so, it is significantly associated with decreased CFR and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In light of these findings, fragmented QRS might be considered a simple marker for risk stratification of hypertensive patients. PMID: 30669874 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
