Is diabetic autonomic neuropathy associated with QT interval disturbances in diabetic patients?

Population

100 diabetic patients (equal numbers of type 1 and type 2 diabetes) and 20 healthy persons in the control group

Comparator

20 healthy persons in the control group

Outcome

QTc mean, QTc maximal, QTc minimal and QTc dispersion (difference between QTc maximal and QTc minimal) on standard 12-lead ECGsurrogate

Diabetic autonomic neuropathy is positively correlated with prolonged QTc maximal, QTc mean, and QTc dispersion, which can be detected using simple cardiovascular tests.
