Abstract: There are very few predictors for mortality and arrhythmic events in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Fragmentation of QRS (fQRS) on 12-lead is associated with myocardial scar. Since myocardial scar is asso-ciated with increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias due to reentry, we postulate that fQRS is also associated with a increase in a combined endpoint of arrhythmic events (antitachycardia pacing and ICD shock) and mortality in these patients.
