No gender difference in nocturnal QT lengthening in healthy youth; supports uniform circadian QT patterns but leaves open extension to clinical populations.
Is there a gender difference in the circadian behavior of QT interval duration in young healthy subjects?
Despite females having a longer corrected QT interval, there is no gender difference in the static or dynamic circadian behavior of the QT interval.
Anselme et al. (1996) studied this question.
