The Acute Effect of Cigarette Smoking on QT Dispersion
Background: Cigarette smoking has several known detrimental effect on cardiovascular system. QT dispersion (QTd) is among the important predictors of cardiac death. Objective: To assess the acute effect of smoking of a single standard cigarette on QT and QTc (corrected QT) dispersion, hence on the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in healthy smokers and non-smokers. Methods: 111 healthy men wit...

متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy decreases QT dispersion in diabetic patients.
Diabetes mellitus is frequently associated with the malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. The QT dispersion is the difference between the longest and shortest QT interval calculated from the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram. The QT dispersion is suggested as an index of myocardial electrical activity. An increase in QT dispersion is associated with the malignant ventricular arrh...

Background: Passive cigarette smoking is a known cause of a variety of diseases. However, most of the studies done in this field have focused on its chronic effects on human health. Studies considering the acute effect of smoking on QT dispersion, on the other hand, with its known predictive role in the occurrence ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death are sparse. Objectives: This st...

Cardiovascular complication should be evaluated in patient with T1DM. Ventricular instability (QT abnormalities) in Type 1 Diabetes Melitus (T1DM) is a risk factor for mortality. Prolongation of corrected QT interval (QTc) is accurate and the most sensitive test for the autonomic neuropathy whether QT interval dispersion (QTd) in arrhythmia is a predictor for mortality. This study is to evaluat...
