- Abstract
- On an averaged QRS-T cycle from a 15-lead record (12-lead electrocardiogram + XYZ leads) and through interactive editing, four electrocardiographic indices of the dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DVR) are automatically computed and represent the maximal interlead difference of QT and JTend and QT and JTapex. The values of these indices were then examined in three clinical groups matched for age and sex: normal subjects (control), patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH group), and patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM group) without ventricular arrhythmias and without interacting drugs. The mean values of all four DVR indices were significantly increased in the HCM group compared with the control group and the LVH group of another origin (ie, for the QTe dispersion index, the mean values and the 97.5th percentiles were, respectively, 65 +/- 18 ms and 97 ms in the HCM group, 41 +/- 25 ms and 79 ms in the LVH group, and 31 +/- 15 ms and 58 ms in the control group). The maximal QT interval was also significantly longer in the HCM group (464 +/- 30 ms) than in the LVH group (436 +/- 32 ms) and the control group (428 +/- 25 ms).
