متن کاملCorrected QT interval as a predictor of mortality in elderly patients with syncope.
BACKGROUND Prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) holds independent prognostic importance in predicting mortality in patients with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure. However, its association with all cause or cardiac mortality in the general population remains unclear. We evaluated the relationship between prolonged QTc and total mortality among patients wit...

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 کاملAssociation of corrected QT interval with long-term mortality in patients with syncope
INTRODUCTION The electrocardiographic parameters QRS duration, QRS-T angle and QTc can predict mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. The prgnostic value of these parameters in hospitalized patients with syncope needs investigation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 590 consecutive patients hospitalized with syncope. After excluding patients with baseline abnormal rh...
