“…In our series, which focused on patients with STEMI, the values of the minimum QTc increased with the time of evolution of ischemia, the maximum QTc remaining essentially unchanged. The effect of SR of the infarct-related artery on QTc was to reduce the mean values of the maximum QTc, which has been reported by other groups [23] and explains the lower cQTd values associated with SR. This finding could be supportive of the notion that SR restores homogeneity of ventricular repolarization, reducing the duration of prolonged ventricular action potentials.…”

“…The increase in cQTd observed in patients with acute ischemia has been related to a prolongation of the maximum QTc [5, 7, 23] and a shortening of the minimum QTc [23, 24]. In our series, which focused on patients with STEMI, the values of the minimum QTc increased with the time of evolution of ischemia, the maximum QTc remaining essentially unchanged.…”

“…According to our findings, as a reflection of reduction in QTd, mechanical reperfusion of the infarct‐related artery could homogenize the duration of the ventricular action potential. The increase in QTc dispersion value observed in patients with acute ischemia has been related to a prolongation of the maximum QTc and a shortening of the minimum QTc . In accordance with this data, our findings showed a nonsignificant reduction in QT maximum and a prolongation in QT minimum values.…”

“…[20] Previous studies have suggested increased QTd in patients with ischemic CAD. [21,22] We could not document any relationship between QTd and EAT in the present study. There may be two explanations for this finding.…”
