Key result
Long-term exercise training significantly reduced QT dispersion from 66 to 56 ms in metabolic syndrome patients with coronary heart disease and from 58 to 51 ms in those without.

May support exercise to mitigate arrhythmic substrate in metabolic syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Guiraud et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Metabolic Syndrome (n=54). Long-term exercise training vs. Non-exercising control group was evaluated on QT dispersion (QTd) (p=<0.01). Long-term exercise training significantly reduced QT dispersion from 66 to 56 ms in metabolic syndrome patients with coronary heart disease and from 58 to 51 ms in those without.
