Correlation of the width of the QRS complex with the pathologic anatomy of the cardiac conduction system in patients with chronic complete atrioventricular block.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Women have a higher operative mortality (OM) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery than men. Suggested contributing factors have included women's increased age, advanced disease, comorbidities, and smaller body surface area (BSA). It is unclear whether women's increased risk factors fully account...
