QTc Dispersion Predicts Cardiac Mortality in the Elderly
Background—Increased QTc dispersion has been associated with an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac death in selected patient populations. We examined the association between computerized QTc-dispersion measurements and mortality in a prospective analysis of the population-based Rotterdam Study among men and women aged $55 years. Methods and Results—QTc dispersion was compute...
متن کاملQTc dispersion predicts cardiac mortality in the elderly: the Rotterdam Study.
BACKGROUND Increased QTc dispersion has been associated with an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac death in selected patient populations. We examined the association between computerized QTc-dispersion measurements and mortality in a prospective analysis of the population-based Rotterdam Study among men and women aged > or = 55 years. METHODS AND RESULTS QTc dispersion was...
متن کاملLong QTc predicts future cardiac death in stroke survivors.
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the QTc of any lead of the ECG predicts death after stroke, and to determine which lead of the ECG carries the greatest risk of cardiac death when its QTc is measured. DESIGN Standard 12 lead ECGs were analysed by one observer who was blind to patient outcome. SETTING A major teaching hospital in Scotland. PATIENTS 404 stroke survivors were studied a...
متن کاملProlonged QT interval predicts cardiac and all-cause mortality in the elderly. The Rotterdam Study.
AIMS To examine the association between heart-rate corrected QT prolongation and cardiac and all-cause mortality in the population-based Rotterdam Study among men and women aged 55 years or older and to compare the prognostic value of the QT interval, using different formulas to correct for heart rate. METHODS AND RESULTS After exclusion of participants with arrhythmias or bundle branch block...
متن کاملCurrent smoking predicts increased operative mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery in the elderly.
OBJECTIVES The effect of preoperative smoking status on the outcome of cardiac surgery remains unclear. Preoperative cessation may be associated with reduced postoperative pulmonary complications and in older patients preoperative smoking status appears to have a greater impact on outcome. This study was designed to assess the relationship between age, preoperative smoking status and outcomes f...
