Reproducibility and Reliability Of QTc and QTcd Measurements andTheir Relationships with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in HemodialysisPatients

摘要

BackgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is very common in hemodialysis patients and an independent risk factor for mortality in this population. The myocardial remodeling underlying the LVH can affect ventricular repolarization causing abnormalities in QT interval.
