Follow-Up (Measurement) of Corrected QT Interval in Adult Patients before and after Lung Transplantation
Background Prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval is well known for many drugs, some of which are an integral part of the therapeutic regimen after lung transplantation (LTX). Therefore, we investigated the QTc interval after LTX in the present study. Patients and Methods The medical records of patients after LTX were studied for demographic data, indication of LTX, medication, and b...
متن کاملChanges in QT interval before and after hemodialysis
Background: Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity are high in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. Increased dispersion of QT intervals is known to predispose to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This study was conducted to assess the effect of hemodialysis (HD) on corrected QT (QTc) intervals and their dispersions (QTd) in chronic hemodialyzed patients. Methods: Fifty-eight p...
متن کاملImprovement of maximum corrected QT and corrected QT dispersion in electrocardiography after kidney transplantation.
INTRODUCTION The electrocardiography (ECG) markers of corrected QT interval (QTc) and QTc dispersion are prolonged in patients on hemodialysis. This study was carried out to investigate if changes in these markers will reverse by successful kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six kidney allograft recipients with functioning grafts, 26 patients on maintenance hemodialysis, and...

متن کاملQT interval measurement: evaluation of automatic QTc measurement and new simple method to calculate and interpret corrected QT interval.
BACKGROUND Assessment of repolarization duration is often recommended to avoid administration of QT-prolonging drugs in patients with prolonged QTc interval, a frequent situation in the postoperative period. Bazett QT correction inappropriately increases QTc when heart rate is increased, and the use of the Fridericia formula may avoid a falsely prolonged QTc interval. The authors assessed autom...
