DM alters QRS-T vectors on Holter; leaves open prognostic value and need for prospective validation in diabetes.
Does type 2 diabetes mellitus alter virtual planar QRS and T vectors derived from Holter monitoring compared to patients without diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with significant modifications in virtual planar QRS and T vector parameters, including the frontal QRS-T angle, independent of other confounding factors.
