[Corrected QT interval prolongation: a new predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome].

Introduction And Objectives: Recently we reported that prolongation of the corrected QT (CTc) interval is an independent risk factor in patients with unstable angina and acute ischemic changes. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of this variable in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who do not exhibit acute ischemic changes on admission ECG.

Methods: The study included 55 patients with this syndrome.
