Why the study?
Can longest ventricular pauses and total number of QRS's during a 24-hour Holter recording determine the severity and pacemaker indication of bradyarrhythmias?
Can longest ventricular pauses and total number of QRS's during a 24-hour Holter recording determine the severity and pacemaker indication of bradyarrhythmias?
Severity and pacemaker indication for bradyarrhythmias should be evaluated using both the longest ventricular pause and the total number of QRS complexes over 24 hours on Holter monitoring.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Holter pauses and QRS totals differed by pacing status; leaves open their utility for bradyarrhythmia severity or pacemaker decisions without prospective validation.
Takato Hata (1986) studied this question.
