We previously showed that baseline QRS frequency analysis adds predictive value to LBBB alone and have hypothesized that a <jats:italic>change<\/jats:italic> in frequency characteristics following CRT may produce additional predictive value.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We examined the QRS frequency characteristics of 182 LBBB patients before and soon after CRT. Patients were assigned to <jats:italic>responder<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>nonresponder<\/jats:italic> groups. Responders were defined by a decrease in left ventricular end\u2010systolic volume (LVESV) \u226515% following CRT. We analyzed the QRS in ECG leads I, AVF, and V3 before and soon after CRT using the discrete Fourier transform algorithm. The percentage of total QRS power within discrete frequency intervals before and after CRT was calculated. The reduction in lead V3 power &lt;10 Hz was the best indicator of response.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Baseline QRS width was similar between the responders and nonresponders (162.2 \u00b1 17.2 milliseconds vs. 158 \u00b1 22.1 milliseconds, respectively; P = 0.180). Responders exhibited a greater reduction in QRS power &lt;10 Hz (\u201317.0 \u00b1 11.9% vs. \u20136.6 \u00b1 12.5%; P &lt; 0.001) and a significant AUC (0.743; P &lt; 0.001). A \u22658% decline in QRS power &lt;10 Hz produced the best predictive values (PPV = 84%, NPV = 59%). Importantly, when patients with baseline QRS &lt;150 milliseconds were compared, the AUC improved (0.892, P &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Successful CRT produces a significant reduction in QRS power below 10 Hz, particularly when baseline QRS &lt;150 milliseconds.
