Aim: Increased blood glucose concentration and cardiac autonomic nerve dysfunction are associated with an increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmia. Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc are novel parameters used to assess ventricular arrhythmogenicity. This study aimed to compare these parameters with the healthy control group in prediabetics.
Materials and Methods: The ECGs of 58 prediabetic patients (29 male, 59.74 ±13.25 years) were examined and matched with the ECGs of 59 healthy controls (28 male, 61.75 ± 12.66 years) that were matched with gender, age and body mass index. From the 12-lead ECG Tp-e and QT intervals were measured and by Bazett's formula QTc was calculated. Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc proportions were also determined.
Results: In prediabetic patients, the mean Tp-e interval was significantly longer than the control group (79.07 ± 8.17 vs 72.03 ± 9.77 ms, respectively; p
