  • Signal-averaged (SA)-ECG was regarded as the presence of QRSD of 100 ms or greater and LAS40 of 36 ms or greater.15

  • * Pacemaker implanted for brady-tachycardia syndrome.

  • Invalid because of noise.

  • AVB 1, atrioventricular block 1; CP, chest pain; EP, electrophysiological testing; HV, His-ventricle; LAB, left anterior block; LBBBG, left bundle branch block, RBBB, right bundle branch block.
