The Terminal Part of the QT Interval (T peak to T end): A Predictor of Mortality after Acute Myocardial Infarction

摘要

: The terminal part of the QT interval (T peak to T end; Tp‐e)—an index for dispersion of cardiac repolarization—is often prolonged in patients experiencing malignant ventricular arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We wanted to explore whether high Tp‐e might predict mortality or fatal arrhythmia post‐AMI.
