Analysis of ventricular repolarization, including static and dynamic methods, represents a potential tool for arrhythmic risk stratification in various clinical settings.
Ventricular repolarization is a complex electrical phenomenon which represents a crucial stage in electrical cardiac activity. It is expressed on the surface electrocardiogram by the interval between the start of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave or U wave (QT). Several physiological, pathological and iatrogenic factors can influence ventricular repolarization. It has been demonstrated that small perturbations in this process can be a potential trigger of malignant arrhythmias, therefore the analysis of ventricular repolarization represents an interesting tool to implement risk stratification of arrhythmic events in different clinical settings. The aim of this review is to critically revise the traditional methods of static analysis of ventricular repolarization as well as those for dynamic evaluation, their prognostic significance and the possible application in daily clinical practice.
Francesco Monitillo (Fri,) conducted a review in Arrhythmic risk stratification. Ventricular repolarization measures was evaluated. Analysis of ventricular repolarization, including static and dynamic methods, represents a potential tool for arrhythmic risk stratification in various clinical settings.
