Trastuzumab and QT dispersion

Trastuzumab and QT dispersion.

The article entitled "The acute effect of trastuzumab infusion on ECG parameters in metastatic breast cancer patients" written by Yavas et al. and published in one of the 2007 issues of your journal was quite interesting [1]. We consider that this article is important and interesting as it studies the adverse effects profile of targeted molecules. Therefore, we also wanted to emphasise some poi...

The impact of chronic hemodialysis on QT dispersion corrected QTdispersion and maximum QT-dispersion

Introduction: Sudden cardiac death is common in patients on hemodialysis and may occur in the immediate postdialysis period when ventricular premature complexes are common. QT dispersion reflecting hetovogelity in ventricle repolarization has been used for predicting patients with risk of malignant arrhythmia and sudden death. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of hemodialysis on...

Measurement of QT dispersion.

increases of qt dispersion, corrected qt dispersion and qt interval in young healthy individuals during ramadan fasting

ramadan fasting is one of the most important religious duties of muslims, that its effect on the heart has not been determined yet. our objective was to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on ventricular repolarization as assessed by qt interval, corrected qt interval, qt dispersion or corrected qt dispersion. sixthy healthy subjects aged 20 to 35 years were dispersion included in this study...

QT dispersion and P wave dispersion in patients with fibromyalgia.

OBJECTIVE Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by widespread pain. Somatic complaints associated with the cardiovascular system, such as chest pain and palpitations, are frequently seen in FM patients. P and QT dispersions are simple and inexpensive measurements reflecting the regional heterogeneity of atrial and ventricular repolarization, respectively. QT dispersion can cause ...
