Key result
Tpeak-Tend indices improve risk prediction for adverse outcomes in acquired QT prolongation.
Why the study?
Do prolonged Tpeak-Tend intervals and higher Tpeak-Tend/QT ratios predict ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death in patients with acquired QT prolongation?
Do prolonged Tpeak-Tend intervals and higher Tpeak-Tend/QT ratios predict ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death in patients with acquired QT prolongation?
Tpeak-Tend interval and Tpeak-Tend/QT ratio are significantly elevated in patients with acquired QT prolongation who develop torsade de pointes, suggesting their utility as non-invasive risk stratification markers.
May aid risk stratification in acquired QT prolongation; extends meta-analytic support for Tpeak-Tend indices as markers.
compared to those who did not. These repolarization indices may provide additional predictive value for identifying high-risk individuals.
