[Corrected QT interval and corrected QT interval dispersion is worthwhile when interpreted with other repolarization measurements].
We read the article entitled ‘‘The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor’’ by Ceker et al. with interest.1 The authors investigated the effects of esmolol on the hemodynamic, correctedQT (QTc) interval and corrected-QT interval dispersion (QT...
متن کاملThe QT and corrected QT interval in recovery after exercise in children.
BACKGROUND Prolongation of the QT interval after exercise can be used to help diagnose long-QT syndrome, especially when the resting QT interval is borderline. The aim of this study was to determine the normal ranges for QT and corrected QT in the recovery phase after exercise in children. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-four volunteer boys and girls aged 8 to < 17 years without any history of hea...
متن کاملChanges in the corrected QT interval and corrected QT dispersion during haemodialysis.
The link between increased QT dispersion and cardiac death in subjects with diabetes and arterial disease is well recognised. Corrected QT dispersion was studied in subjects with end stage renal failure on haemodialysis. Thirty one stable, chronic subjects on haemodialysis had 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken before and after a single haemodialysis session. The QT interval was measured m...
متن کاملCORRECTED QT DISPERSION IN CHILDREN WITH ISOLATED UNCOMPLICATED MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a relatively frequent valvular abnormality. In both children and adults with MVP, an increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmias has been reported. QT dispersion, defined as the difference in duration between the longest QT interval and the shortest one, for a given set of electrocardiographic leads has been proposed as a sign of regional difference in card...
متن کاملPlasma homocysteine levels associated with a corrected QT interval
BACKGROUND Little is known about the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) levels and the QT interval. We examined the association of different Hcy levels with corrected QT (QTc) intervals in a general population. METHODS Plasma levels of Hcy were assessed in a population-based study of 7002 participants 35 years of age and older from 2012 to 2013. Twelve-lead ECGs were performed on all par...
