QTc may mark subclinical atherosclerosis in nondiabetics; leaves open its prognostic value and need for prospective validation.
Is heart rate-corrected QT interval associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in nondiabetic subjects?
Heart rate-corrected QT interval is significantly associated with common carotid artery intima-media thickness in nondiabetic subjects, suggesting it may serve as a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis.
Festa et al. (1999) studied this question.
