Özet

Background: Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complex is an electrocardiographic pattern which reflects myocardial scarring. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) on electrocardiogram (ECG) and plasma galectin-3 levels in patients with heart failure (HF) and severely decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <= 35%).
