title: Comparison of QT interval duration and dispersion in elderly population versus healthy young subjects.
abstract: We compared QT dispersion (QTd) in 75 elderly and 36 young subjects and found that those over the age of 75 years had higher QTd than those younger than 75. In addition those older than 75 years had higher QTd values compared to the younger subjects. We concluded that QTd increased especially over the age of 75.
