Prevalence of increased QT interval duration and dispersion in type 2 diabetic patients and its relationship with coronary heart disease: a population‐based cohort

Abstract

This population-based study shows a considerably high prevalence of increased QTc and QTc dispersion in type 2 diabetic patients and their association with CHD. These findings have both epidemiological and clinical relevance, as they might be implicated in the excess mortality risk of type 2 diabetic patients.
