Predictive Value of Tpeak – Tend Indices for Adverse Outcomes in Acquired QT Prolongation: A Meta-Analysis

Predictive Value of Tpeak – Tend Indices for Adverse Outcomes in Acquired QT Prolongation: A Meta-Analysis

Background: Acquired QT interval prolongation has been linked with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes, in turn predisposing to sudden cardiac death. Increased dispersion of repolarization has been identified as a pro-arrhythmic factor and can be observed as longer Tpeak –...
