Evaluation of electrocardiographic ventricular repolarization parameters in extreme obesity

The risk of sudden death and cardiac arrhythmia increases in morbidly obese patients. We aimed to evaluate the marker of arrhythmias such as Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, Tp-e/JT and Tp-e/JTc ratios in extreme obesity. The study included 41 extremely obese patients and 41 control subjects. QTmax, QTmin, QRS, J...

Description
Summary:The risk of sudden death and cardiac arrhythmia increases in morbidly obese patients. We aimed to evaluate the marker of arrhythmias such as Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, Tp-e/JT and Tp-e/JTc ratios in extreme obesity. The study included 41 extremely obese patients and 41 control subjects. QTmax, QTmin, QRS, JT and Tp-e intervals were measured od 12‑lead electrocardiographies. In addition, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, Tp-e/JT and Tp-e/JTc rates and QTc, cQTd and JTc intervals were calculated. Tp-e interval (79.2 ± 9.7 ms (milisecond) vs. 68.6 ± 8.1, p
