QT dynamics and the risk of sudden arrhythmic cardiac death in ischemic heart disease

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2004 Jun;27(6 Pt 1):827-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2004.00539.x.

Abstract

The relationship between altered QT dynamics and the risk of sudden arrhythmic death has not been established so far. This article describes the behavior of QT dynamics assessed in a patient with ischemic heart disease after two documented cardiac arrests due to sustained ventricular arrhythmia.
