Effect of coronary artery bypass on QT dispersion
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: QT dispersion (QT Max – QT min) reflects inhomogeneous ventricular depolarization that may provide a substrate for serious arrythmias and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Some studies have shown reduction in QT dispersion after successful angioplasty due to coronary reperfusion, but effect of coronary artery bypass grafting on QTd is less known. This study evaluated the effects of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on QT dispersion in first days after surgery. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, QTd of 50 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were calculated pre-and post-surgery This measurement was performed after surgery on three occasions (first day, third day and predischarge) in patients without serious or malignant arrythmias. Results: QTd & QTcd (mean SD) decreased in third postoperative day compared to preoperation values. QTd and QTcd decreased from 62.9 (26.9), and 64.8 (28.08) to 43.1 (22.8) and 59.4 (29.9) respectively (P<0.005 and P<0.03) in the third day after surgery comparing to presurgery. The decrements was more significant between predischarge and preoperation: QTd decreased from 62.2(26.9) to 41.6(24.16) and QTcd decreased from 71.7(32.47) to 51.5(27.69) (P<0.001). Conclusion: CABG, the most comprehensive method of revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease, is an important factor in reducing QT dispersion and eventually reducing malignat ventricular arrhythmia after surgery

Effect of coronary artery bypass grafting and aneurysmectomy on QT dispersion in moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aneurysmectomy in the same session have on QT dispersion (QTd) in moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction. METHODS Forty-four patients underwent QT interval analyses before and 1 month after aneurysmectomy and CABG. QT interval and QTd were corrected for heart rate using the squa...
متن کاملThe Effect of Coronary Risk Factors on QT Dispersion
It is known that in patients with ischemic heart disease, QT dispersion (QTd) predicts ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death and that major coronary risk factors such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension increase QTd. It is not clear whether, in coronary artery disease, QTd increases because of ischemia or co-existence of coronary risk factors. In this study, we aimed to invest...

متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملQt Dispersion in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Background: QT dispersion is the difference between the longest and the shortest QT intervals as measured from the 12 lead standard ECG. It reflects ventricular repolarisation heterogeneity which may lead to ventricular arrhythmias in certain cases. Myocardial ischemia plays a central role in the pathophysiology of prolonged QT dispersion leading to re-entrant type ventricular arrhythmias. Curr...
