[ 1 ] - 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...
[ 2 ] - The Acute Effect of Passive Smoking on QT Dispersion in 95 Healthy Men
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.
