Why the study?
Hypoglycaemia prolongs the corrected QT interval and is linked to sudden death, prompting investigation into the effect of fasting blood glucose levels on QT and QTc intervals.
Does fasting affect the QT interval and QTc in healthy young adults?
Does fasting affect the QT interval and QTc in healthy young adults?
Fasting significantly prolongs the QTc interval compared to the post-prandial state in healthy young adults.
Fasting QTc prolongation within normal limits in healthy adults; leaves open relevance to arrhythmia risk during hypoglycemia in diabetes.
