Effect of moderate dynamic exercise on QT, QTC and QTD intervals in young obese adults
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Obesity is becoming a global epidemic in both children and adults. QT interval, QT-interval corrected and the QT-interval dispersion derived from standard electrocardiograms represent ventricular repolarization heterogenecity. This study was undertaken to assess the QT, QTc and QTD intervals in response to dynamic exercise test in obese and normal weight medical students and to know the gender differences. Methods: 30 medical students of Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga formed the study group. QT, QTc and QTD were measured thrice with a gap of 5 minutes each, before and during the moderate exercise with Treadmill, and average was taken. Results: The study group showed significant change in electrocardiogram, that is QT, QTc and QTD intervals when correlated with BMI. There was significance among men and women. Interpretation and Conclusion: here was significant change in QT, QTc and QTD intervals among study group. There was significant change in QTc at baseline and during exercise test in men as compared to women.
