摘要
Background: There are currently no published algorithms for calculation of age -dependent QRS duration z-scores. The absence of a standardized measure has limited researchers' abilities to compare ECG measurements of electrical synchrony between subjects of different ages or longitudinally over time. Methods: Four existing studies of normal ECG measurements (total 19,062 subjects) were used to estimate age and sex-dependent means and standard deviations. Results: Weighted means and standard deviations were best estimated by cubic functions to create z-score algorithms. Conclusion: Nomograms and algorithms for QRS duration z-scores may be estimated to compare ECG findings in both children and adults. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
