Background:QT durations are sex-dependent, with women having longer QT durations than men. In addition to congenital long-QT syndrome, prominent QTc prolongation is a risk for sudden death. There are several correction formulas for the QTc interval, but the association between the QTc interval ...
Men having all three high risk states are seven times more likely to die in the follow-up period than men with no high risk conditions. Very thin men having one other high risk state, pulmonary impairment or prolonged QTc, are four times more likely to die. Excluding diabetics, active ...
The multivariate adjusted mean QTc value increased proportionally with increasing number of MetS components (P values < 0.001 for both men and women).CONCLUSIONWe confirmed the arrhythmogenic potential of MetS in apparently healthy Korean men and women. These findings suggest that careful monitoring of...
Women had longer QTc interval compared to men (0.402±0.030 s vs. 0.387±0.026 s, P<0.01). Of the 192 subjects, 18 women and two men had prolonged QTc interval (QTc >0.433 s). Women with prolonged QTc interval have a 2.8-fold greater rate of cardiovascular disease as compared to ...
In women, mortality was 56.7% (17/30) in those with QTc ≥ 480 ms compared with 8.4% (20/237) in the non-prolonged QTc interval, p < 0.001. Similar results were seen in men: mortality was 25.8% (8/31) in the prolonged QTc interval group vs. 8.9% (29/325) in the non-...
