Prediction of sudden death from QTc interval prolongation in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease

Journal of Electrocardiology
P E Puddu, M G Bourassa

Abstract

Although prolongation of QTc interval has been shown to increase the risk of sudden death after recent myocardial infarction, no data exist on the relationship between sudden death and QTc duration in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. Furthermore, it is not known whether patients with long QTc intervals (greater than or equal to 440 units) have more prevalent coronary risk factors. Thus 141 nonsurvivors (128 with coronary death and 13 with noncoronary death) representing the follow-up deaths of a cohort of 1157 medically treated patients with ischemic heart disease over a four-year period were compared to 141 consecutive long-term survivors of the same cohort. Thirty-one patients were excluded because of drug interactions, bundle-branch block or atrial fibrillation. QTc duration was calculated on the ECG immediately prior to angiography in 62 patients with sudden death, 36 with intermediate death, 13 with noncoronary death and 140 long-term survivors with chronic ischemic heart disease. In addition, in 64 nonsurvivors (58%) in whom more than one yearly follow-up ECG was available, QTc was calculated in the last ECG preceding death (mean of four months before death). These data were compared to those obtained in 140 ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
