Does measurement of QTc and JTc dispersion predict sudden cardiac death in patients with beta-thalassemia major?
QTc and JTc dispersion can serve as useful prognostic markers for identifying the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with beta-thalassemia major.
β-TM is associated with significant changes in heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization. QTc and JTc dispersion are useful markers of risk of SCD in patients with β-TM.
Russo et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
