Why the study?
The Tpeak-Tend interval is a novel ECG marker with growing evidence for predicting malignant arrhythmias, but its association across several cardiovascular diseases and obesity warranted review.
Does the Tpeak-Tend interval on ECG predict malignant arrhythmias in patients with obesity and cardiovascular diseases?
Does the Tpeak-Tend interval on ECG predict malignant arrhythmias in patients with obesity and cardiovascular diseases?
The Tpeak-Tend interval is highlighted as a promising noninvasive ECG marker for predicting malignant arrhythmias across various cardiovascular conditions and obesity.
Globally, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death. Numerous methods are used to diagnose cardiovascular pathologies; there is still a place for straightforward and noninvasive techniques, such as electrocardiogram (ECG). Depolarization and repolarization parameters, including QT interval and its derivatives, are well studied. However, the Tpeak-Tend interval is a novel and promising ECG marker with growing evidence for its potential role in predicting malignant arrhythmias. In this review, we discuss the association between the Tpeak-Tend interval and several cardiovascular diseases, including long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and obesity, which constitutes one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
