Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 73-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy presented with heart failure. The ECG showed sinus rhythm with left bundle branch block, left-axis deviation and prolonged QRS duration and frequent ventricular premature complexes from the left ventricular septal wall were present. Ventricular premature beats had narrower QRS duration than sinus node beats conducted through the His-purkinje fibers consistent with resynchronizing beats. The mechanisms of narrowing of the QRS complex produced by premature beats in cases of impaired intra and interventricular conduction are discussed.
