Obesity is
associated with wide variety of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities.
Prolonged QTc
interval is common in obesity and it represents a delayed ventricular
repolarisation which is associated with ventricular arrhythmias, syncope
and sudden cardiac death.
The aim of our
study is to evaluate the effects of weight reduction on QTc interval in obese
subjects. The study included 74 obese subjects aged 41.78 ± 10.70 years,
treated with a lowcalorie diet (800 kcal/day) for two weeks.
