Effects of Slow Coronary Artery Flow on QT Interval Duration and Dispersion

Abstract

QTcd, indicating increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiovascular mortality, was found to be significantly higher in patients with slow coronary artery flow. However, further long-term prospective studies should be carried out to establish the significance of QTcd as a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and subsequent sudden cardiac death in patients with slow coronary artery flow.
