The Roles of the Q (q) Wave in Lead I and QRS Frontal Axis for Diagnosing Loss of Left Ventricular Capture During Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Loss of left ventricular (LV) capture may lead to deterioration of heart failure in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Recognition of loss of LV capture in time is important in clinical practice.
