Why the study?
Does QT interval analysis better predict cardiac death compared to ABPI and autonomic function tests in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes?
Does QT interval analysis better predict cardiac death compared to ABPI and autonomic function tests in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes?
QT interval abnormalities are present at diabetes diagnosis and are superior to ABPI and autonomic function tests in predicting long-term cardiac death.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
QTc/QTD may refine cardiac risk stratification in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation versus ABPI before practice change.
Rana et al. (2004) studied this question.
