QT interval analysis in type 2 diabetic patients
Background: The electrocardiographic QT interval has been extensively studied in diabetes mellitus. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the relationship between diabetes and QT abnormalities .The QT interval, which is easily obtained from a ...

QTc evaluation in patients with bundle branch block
Proper measurement of the QT interval on the 12-lead body-surface ECG is challenging in daily practice. Even more difficult is its correct estimation in the presence of repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmias or bundle-branch blocks (BBB).

QT Interval and QT Variability [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the most common types of mortality in developed countries. It for more deaths each year than the total number of deaths from AIDS, breast cancer, lung cancer and stroke together. SCD accounts for approximately 50% of all deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 20% of total mortality (1).

Increases of QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion and QT interval in young healthy individuals during Ramadan fasting [PDF]
Ramadan fasting is one of the most important religious duties of Muslims, that its effect on the heart has not been determined yet. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on ventricular repolarization as assessed by QT interval ...

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

Common Genetic Variation Near the Phospholamban Gene Is Associated with Cardiac Repolarisation: Meta-Analysis of Three Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]
To identify loci affecting the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarisation associated with risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, we conducted a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS ...

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