Acute and mid-term outcomes of transvenous implant of a new left ventricular quadripolar lead versus bipolar leads for cardiac resynchronization therapy: results from a single-center prospective database.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with a poor outcome in patients with sinus rhythm (SR) or atrial fibrillation (AF). However, cut-off points for HRV measures differ between SR and AF. We hypothesized that a global index of 24-hour HRV based on evaluation of scatterplot would describe HRV ir...
