The effects of peritoneal dialysis on QT interval in ESRD patients

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2022
Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk of fatal arrhythmias. The extended corrected QT (QTc) interval is a hallmark of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Changes in the corrected QT interval and corrected QT dispersion during haemodialysis [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2002
Abstract The link between increased QT dispersion and cardiac death in subjects with diabetes and arterial disease is well recognised. Corrected QT dispersion was studied in subjects with end stage renal failure on haemodialysis. Thirty one stable, chronic subjects on haemodialysis had 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken before and ...

Recent heart rate history affects QT interval duration in atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
QT interval prolongation is associated with a risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. QT interval shortens with increasing heart rate and correction for this effect is necessary for meaningful QT interval assessment.

Increased Short-Term Beat-To-Beat Variability of QT Interval in Patients with Acromegaly. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cardiovascular diseases, including ventricular arrhythmias are responsible for increased mortality in patients with acromegaly. Acromegaly may cause repolarization abnormalities such as QT prolongation and impairment of repolarization reserve enhancing ...

The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The importance of minimizing the exaggerated sympatho-adrenergic responses and QT interval and QT interval dispersion changes that may develop due to laryngoscopy and tracheal

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO MEASURING AND ESTIMATING THE DURATION OF QT INTERVAL OF A STANDARD ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

open access: yesŽurnal Grodnenskogo Gosudarstvennogo Medicinskogo Universiteta, 2019
Interpretation of each electrocardiogram should include measurement and evaluation of the QT interval, because both an increase and a decrease in its duration are associated with a risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death ...

Can indicators of myocardial damage predict carbon monoxide poisoning outcomes?

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Carbon monoxide causes electrical, functional, and morphological changes in the heart. It is unclear, however, whether the indicators of myocardial damage can predict the patient’s prognosis after carbon monoxide poisoning.

A genome-wide association scan of RR and QT interval duration in 3 European genetically isolated populations:the EUROSPAN project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We set out to identify common genetic determinants of the length of the RR and QT intervals in 2325 individuals from isolated European populations.We analyzed the heart rate at rest, measured as the RR interval, and the length of the corrected QT ...

Electrocardiographic T-wave peak-to-end interval for hypoglycaemia detection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Electrocardiographic T wave peak-to-end interval (TpTe) is one parameter of T wave morphology, which contains indicators for hypoglycaemia. This paper shows the corrected TpTe (TpTe(c)) interval as one of the inputs contributing to detect hypoglycaemia ...
