| Popis: | Aims Fragmented QRS (fQRS), defined as the presence of additional peaks within the QRS complex ( Methods and results Retrospective study conducted on 605 non-sedentary subjects undergoing pre-participation cardiovascular screening for competitive activity in six disciplines (athletics, football, cycling, swimming, basketball, and volleyball). All subjects underwent ECG for the search of fQRS and transthoracic echocardiography. Predictors of fQRS were investigated using multivariate logistic analysis adjusted for. fQRS was found in 47 of 605 subjects. On multivariate logistic analysis, fQRS was positively associated with age (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.05), male sex (OR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.13–0.94), whereas no association with sport discipline was observed (0.91; 0.73–1.12). When echocardiographic parameters were considered, fQRS was associated with cardiac mass index (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00–1.03) and E wave (OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.96–0.99). Conclusions At pre-participation cardiovascular screening, the fQRS finding increases with age, is more frequent in males, and seems to be independent from practiced sport. Furthermore, fQRS in athletes appears to be associated with parameters of physiological hypertrophy (LV cardiac mass index and diastolic function). |
