Patients with implantable cardioverter‑defibrillators (ICDs) may experience recurrent arrhythmic events (AE). Identification of these patients may help plan further therapy. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) was identified as a risk marker of AE in various populations but its predictive value in patients with ICD has not been established.
