High-QRS may be indicative of risk of eventual hypertension, and may therefore be useful for screening purposes. Can indicate a slow repolarization (skipped heart beat)...very common.

Thickened heart walls can impair contractions and may not relax enough to adequately fill the chamber with blood to be pumped into circulation.  Worst case scenario, and advanced stage of hypercardiology.
