Neurovascular Oxidative Stress and Autonomic Modulation Contributing to QT Interval Variations in Acute Large Artery Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Background: Acute stroke can disturb autonomic regulation and promoting oxidative stress. Prolongation of QT interval is very common in stroke and related with stroke recurrent and sudden death. In this study, we hypothesize that neurovascular oxidative stress and autonomic modulation contribute to QT interval variation.
