title: [Q-T interval dispersion in patients with coronary heart disease in various terms after angioplastic revascularization].
abstract: According to epidemiological researches data, in 75-80% of coronary heart disease (CHD) cases, the cause of sudden death is ventricular rhythm disturbances. Degree of coronary arteries lesion plays an important role in development of these disturbances. Study of Q-T interval dispersion is one of prospective methods of noninvasive assessment of risk of occurrence of dangerous for life ventricular arrhythmias. The authors studied indices of Q-T interval end its parts dispersion in patients with coronary atherosclerosis, and also estimated influence of angioplastic myocardial revasculization on electrical instability markers during 6 months after intracoronary intervention. It was proved that coronary atherosclerosis in patients with CHD contributes to increase of degree of myocardial depolarization and repolarization nonhomogeneity. Value of Q-T interval and its parts dispersion does not depend on number of affected coronary arteries. Revascularization of myocardium contributes to reliable decrease of Q-T interval and its parts dispersion. More marked its decrease is registered in 6 months after transcutaneous intracoronary intervention. Development of restenosis is accompanied by increase of indices of Q-T interval and its parts dispersion.
