TI  - Clinical significance of complete left bundle branch block in dilated 
      cardiomyopathy.
PG  - 158-60
AB  - Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings in 64 patients with 
      dilated cardiomyopathy were restrospectively studied. Compared with 51 patients 
      without complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB), 13 patients with CLBBB had 
      higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (P < 0.05), increased 
      left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters (P < 0.002) and 
      myocardial mass (P < 0.02), severe mitral regurgitation (P < 0.01) and higher 
      mortality rate (P < 0.04). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed 
      that the presence of CLBBB was an independent prognostic factor for patients with 
      dilated cardiomyopathy.
