Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and morbidity in selected heart failure (HF) patients. However, not all patients respond to CRT. We hypothesized that a novel measure of electrical dyssynchrony, sum absolute QRST integral (SAI), predicts CRT response independent of QRS duration and morphology. We retrospectively analyzed baseline 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) of SMART-AV study participants [N=234, mean age 67 y, 70% male, 60% ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 25%, mean QRS duration 152ms, 77% had left bundle branch block (LBBB)]. Baseline pre-implant ECGs were digitized, transformed into orthogonal XYZ, and analyzed automatically by customized Matlab software. SAI was measured as an averaged arithmetic sum of absolute areas under the QRST curve. Patients were followed prospectively 6 months after CRT-D implantation. Patients with a decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume ≥ 15mls after 6 months of CRT were considered responders. Logistic regression model was adjusted for age, gender, BBB morphology, LVEF, type of cardiomyopathy and QRS duration. Patients with the high mean SAI (3rd tertile) had 2.5 times greater odds of response than those with low mean SAI (1st tertile; OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.3–5.0, p=0.010), and 1.9 times greater than the lower two tertiles combined (OR 1.9, 95%CI 1.1–3.5; P=0.03). Adjustment for renal function (OR 2.33 (95%CI 1.32, 4.11); P=0.003) and LV lead position in RAO/LAO (OR 1.7 (95%CI 0.9, 3.2); P=0.087) did not attenuate association of SAI with outcome. High SAI QRST independently predicts CRT response in the SMART-AV study.
