Epicardial adipose tissue predicted prolonged QTc interval in patients with arterial hypertension
Introduction: It is important to identify those at higher risk for ventricular arrhythmia among hypertensive patients. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) leads to electromechanical changes in the heart by endocrine and paracrine effects with cytokines and ...

Hereditary prolongation of QT interval. [PDF]
Twocases, afather andson,withprolongation oftheQTinterval without coexistent deafness, aredescribed. Bothhada typical history, withsymptoms starting inchildhood, oftransient syncopal attacks, often triggered bystrong emotional orphysical stimuli, an abnormally prolonged QTinterval, bizarre T waves, andnormallaboratory values.

Can smartphone wireless ECGs be used to accurately assess ECG intervals in pediatrics? A comparison of mobile health monitoring to standard 12-lead ECG [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Arrhythmias in children are often paroxysmal, complicating the ability to capture the abnormal rhythm on routine ECG during an outpatient visit. The Alivecor Kardia Mobile (KM) device is a wireless mobile health (mHealth) device that generates

Functional data analytic approach of modeling ECG T-wave shape to measure cardiovascular behavior
The T-wave of an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents the ventricular repolarization that is critical in restoration of the heart muscle to a pre-contractile state prior to the next beat.

Diabetes mellitus attenuates the repolarization reserve in mammalian heart [PDF]
Objective: In diabetes mellitus several cardiac electrophysiological parameters are known to be affected. In rodent experimental diabetes models changes in these parameters were reported, but no such data are available in other mammalian species ...

Prolonged Tp-e Interval, Tp-e/QT Ratio and Tp-e/QTc Ratio in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Cardiac electrical inhomogeneity may be the leading cause of the increased arrhythmic risk in patients with T2DM.

Clinical cardiac electrophysiologic evaluation of the positive inotropic agent, DPI 201-106 [PDF]
DPI 201-106 is a new positive inotropic agent. The cardiac electrophysiology of 16 patients was studied before and during DPI 201-106 administration (loading dose of intravenous DPI 201-106, 1·8 mg kg−1 h−1 administered over 10 min, followed by a ...
