Q-Tc prolongation was associated with cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetes; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change diagnostic practice.
Does corrected Q-T interval prolongation correlate with the presence and severity of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients?
Prolongation of the corrected Q-T interval is associated with the presence and severity of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients, though a normal Q-Tc does not exclude the condition.
Gonin et al. (1990) studied this question.
