DRUGS AND QTc INTERVAL DISPERSION
The measure of delayed ventricular repolarization most frequently used clinically is the ability of the new chemical entity to prolong the QTc interval on surface electrocardiogram. Intramyocardial dispersion of repolarization appears to play a more important role both in electrical stability of the ventricles and in arrhythmogenesis. The potential importance of myocardial dispersion of refract...
متن کاملClinical significance of prolonged QTc interval in Williams syndrome.
Williams syndrome (WS) is a congenital developmental disorder affecting the connective tissue, neurologic, and cardiovascular (CV) systems in 1 in 8,000 live births. The characteristic features of WS, including facial dysmorphisms, cognitive traits, and CV abnormalities, are known to arise from the deletion of approximately 28 genes on chromosome 7q11.23. Structural CV abnormalities occur most ...
متن کاملQTc Interval and QT Dispersion in Patients with Thalassemia Major: Electrocardiographic (EKG) and Echocardiographic Evaluation
BACKGROUND Doppler echocardiographic studies in patients with beta-Thalassemia Major (beta-TM) had shown different patterns of left ventricle (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. AIM This cross-sectional study was designed to study the LV systolic and diastolic function in patients with beta-TM using Pulsed Doppler (PD) Echocardiogram and assess the QTc interval and QT dispersion (QTd) o...
متن کاملProlonged QTc Interval Is an Electrophysiological Hallmark of Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND: Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy is a relatively ill-characterized condition, which is often under-diagnosed due to absence of defined diagnostic criteria. ECG showing corrected QT Interval prolongation is the most suitable available option for diagnosis of this condition. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of corrected QT interval prolongation in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODOLO...
متن کاملEffect of Average Annual Mean Serum Ferritin Levels on QTc Interval and QTc Dispersion in Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background There is evidence indicating impaired cardiomyocytic contractility, delayed electrical conduction and increased electrophysiological heterogeneities due to iron toxicity in beta-thalassemia major patients. In the present study, we compared the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic features of beta-thalassemia major patients with a healthy control group. Materials and Methods ...
