“…It is also worth noting that values of Tp-e and its derivatives change after surgical procedures, leading to weight loss. Gul et al's study [ 49 ] included class 3 obesity patients and found a significant reduction in Tp-e, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, Tp-e/JT, and Tp-e/JTc after bariatric surgery (measured 1 and 6 months after operation). The change in these parameters was also significantly correlated with weight loss.…”

Globally, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death. Numerous methods are used to diagnose cardiovascular pathologies; there is still a place for straightforward and noninvasive techniques, such as electrocardiogram (ECG). Depolarization and repolarization parameters, including QT interval and its derivatives, are well studied. However, the Tpeak‐Tend interval is a novel and promising ECG marker with growing evidence for its potential role in predicting malignant arrhythmias. In this review, we discuss the association between the Tpeak‐Tend interval and several cardiovascular diseases, including long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and obesity, which constitutes one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

“…The BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 group in our study had a higher Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QTc ratio. The literature review indicates Patients with morbid obesity have a higher risk of SCD before heart disease develops 8 . In SCD patients with anatomically normal hearts, obesity is a significant comorbidity 9 .…”
