Effect of coronary angioplasty on precordial QT dispersion

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

Dispersion of the QT interval is a measure of inhomogeneity of ventricular repolarization. Because ischemia is associated with regional abnormalities of conduction and repolarization, we hypothesized that the surface electrocardiographic interval dispersion would increase in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease in the absence of myocardial infarction and that successful revascularization would reduce QT interval dispersion. Thirty-seven consecutive patients with ischemia due to 1-vessel coronary artery disease without prior myocardial infarction who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were evaluated. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms were performed 24 hours before, 24 hours after, and late (>2 months) after PTCA. Precordial QT interval dispersions were determined from differences in the maximum and minimum corrected QT intervals. Mean QT interval dispersion before PTCA was 60 +/- 9 ms, immediately after PTCA 23 +/- 14 ms (p <0.001), and late after PTCA 29 +/- 18 ms (p <0.001 vs before PTCA). The shortest precordial QT interval increased immediately after PTCA (367 +/- 40 vs 391 +/- 39 ms; p <0.02) and then remained stable late after PTCA (376 +/- 36 ms, p = NS vs immediately after PTCA...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
