Relation of left ventricular mass and QT dispersion in patients with systematic hypertension.
This study evaluated the correlation of left ventricular hypertrophy and QT dispersion in patients with systemic hypertension. QT dispersion, determined using the standard electrocardiogram, showed an increase as left ventricular mass determined by echocardiography increased in hypertensive patients.
