HİPERTANSİF SOL VENTRİKÜL HİPERTROFİSİNİN VENTRİKÜLER REPOLARİZASYON ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Amaç: T dalgasının tepe ve sonu aralığı (Tp-e), Tp-e/QT oranı ve Tp-e/QTc oranı ventriküler repolarizasyonun yeni indeksleridir ve ventriküler aritmiler ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Hem hipertansiyon hem de sol ventriküler hipertrofi varlığının ventriküler aritmi gelişimi ve ani kardiyak ölüm için bir risk faktörü olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, hipertansiyon hastalarında sol ventriküler hipertrofi varlığının Tp-e aralığı, Tp-e/QT oranı ve Tp-e/QTc oranı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi hedefledik.

The Effect of Hypertensive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy on Ventricular Repolarization

Objective: The peak and end interval of the T wave (Tp-e), the Tp-e/QT ratio and the Tp-e/QTc ratio are new indices of ventricular repolarization and have been associated with ventricular arrhythmias. It is known that the presence of both hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for the development of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy on Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio in patients with hypertension.

Keywords:

Hypertension, Left ventricular hypertrophy, Ventricular Repolarization.,
