Prognostic Value of a New Marker of Ventricular Repolarization in Cirrhotic Patients.

Background: There is still debate about the relationship between changes in ventricular repolarization on the surface electrocardiogram and cirrhosis severity.

Objective: To study the relationship between variables related to ventricular repolarization and the clinical severity of the cirrhotic disease.

Methods: We selected 79 individuals with hepatic cirrhosis, classified according to the Child-Pugh-Turcotte criteria (Child A, B, and C).
