GW25-e1471 Aquired Long QT Syndrome May Contribute to the All Cause Mortality in Hospitalized Patients-A Pilot Study

Objectives Though it is well-known that markedly prolonged QT interval (QTc>=500 ms) is an independent risk factor for sudden death and a predictor for all-cause cardiovascular mortality and stroke, acquired QT syndrome (ALQTS) in the hospital setting has long been overlooked.This study is to det...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives Though it is well-known that markedly prolonged QT interval (QTc>=500 ms) is an independent risk factor for sudden death and a predictor for all-cause cardiovascular mortality and stroke, acquired QT syndrome (ALQTS) in the hospital setting has long been overlooked.This study is to determine the prevalence of QTc>=500 ms in hospitalized patients and their outcomes.
