Background: T wave amplitude and repolarization variability in ECG showed inverse correlations. Sympathetic activation, induced by head-up tilt, is associated to a reduced T wave amplitude.
Methods: Noninvasive hemodynamic and ECG data from three healthy subjects' groups (Group 1: 10-19 years-old; Group 2: 40-49 years-old; Group 3: 80-89 years-old) were analyzed.
Objectives: The first aim of this study was to assess the predictive power of Tend interval (Te) and non-invasive hemodynamic markers, based on bioimpedance in decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). The second one was to verify the possible differences in repolarization and hemodynamic data between CHF patients grouped by level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Finally, we wanted to check if repolarization and hemodynamic data changed with clinical improvement or worsening in CHF patients.
