Patients were divided according to QRS duration and morphology: &amp;lt;150\u2009ms vs. \u2265150\u2009ms and left bundle branch block (LBBB) vs. non-LBBB, respectively. Echocardiographic measurements were performed at baseline and at 6\u2009months' follow-up. The effect of the interaction between QRS duration and morphology on LV reverse remodelling and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was analysed using linear, mixed models. Of 1467 patients (mean age 65\u2009\u00b1\u200910\u2009years, 77% male), 884 (60%) had a QRS \u2265150\u2009ms and 814 (55%) showed LBBB. The group with QRS \u2265150\u2009ms demonstrated larger LV reverse remodelling (mean reduction in LV end-systolic volume 34.3\u2009mL vs. 14.8\u2009mL; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and improvement in LVEF (mean increase 6.8% vs. 5.2%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) compared with their counterparts. Similarly, patients with LBBB QRS morphology showed greater LV reverse remodelling (mean reduction in LV end-systolic volume 30.8\u2009mL vs. 17.4\u2009mL; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and improvement in LVEF (mean increase 6.9% vs. 3.7%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) than those with non-LBBB QRS morphology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Left ventricular reverse remodelling and LV functional improvement are greater among HF patients with LBBB morphology and increasing QRS duration who receive CRT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,8]],"date-time":"2017-02-08T00:08:10Z","timestamp":1486512490000},"page":"1145-1151","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Impact of QRS Complex Duration and Morphology on Left Ventricular Reverse Remodelling and Left Ventricular Function Improvement After Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Pieter","family":"van der Bijl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mand","family":"Khidir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Leung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bart","family":"Mertens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Ajmone Marsan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeroen J.","family":"Bax","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Cardiology, Heart Lung Centre, Leiden University Medical Centre , Albinusdreef 2, 2300, RC, Leiden ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011721192884500_ejhf769-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2281","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/eht150","article-title":"2013 ESC Guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy: the Task Force on cardiac pacing and resynchronization therapy of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
