Corrected Qt interval in patients with metabolic syndrome
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2011, Vol 38, Issue 3
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome may be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, prolongation of QT intervals due to metabolic syndrome is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence prolonged QT intervals in patients with metabolic syndrome and also demonstrate the relationship between them. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and the QT prolongation in a large patient group. Materials and methods: A total of 1009 individuals were enrolled in this study. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the IDF criteria and the QTc intervals were measured by using Bazett Formula. QT ≤ 0.44 second was accepted as normal. Results: Totally, 278 male and 731 female individuals of 1009 cases were enrolled in this study. The average duration of corrected QT of men according to the Bazzett formula were found as 0,448±0,04 second and QT interval of women were 0,449±0,05 second. QT intervals of both women and men with metabolic syndrome were significantly higher than normal limits of QT interval (p<0,01). Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome found as associated with a prolonged QTc. Results of our study suggest that QTc interval length was increased in patients with metabolic syndrome.
