Why the study?

Is Q-T interval dispersion associated with cardiac ischemia and other complications in patients with type 1 diabetes?

Population

3,042 type 1 diabetic patients from the EURODIAB population

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

QTd may flag ischemia risk in type 1 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without prospective data.

Structured PICO

Is Q-T interval dispersion associated with cardiac ischemia and other complications in patients with type 1 diabetes?

Population

3,042 type 1 diabetic patients from the EURODIAB population

Outcome

Prevalence of QTd prolongation and its relation to QTc, sex, age, duration of diabetes, blood glucose control, and complicationssurrogate

In patients with type 1 diabetes, prolonged Q-T interval dispersion is associated with ischemic heart disease and diastolic blood pressure, suggesting a potential marker for cardiac risk.
