Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate left ventricular function in patients with beta-thalassemia major with special reference to pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging.
Methods: The present study compared 30 diagnosed cases of beta-thalassemia major (mean age: 9.43+/-2.
Background: We studied the dynamics of QT dispersion in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and compared them with those in controls.
Methods And Results: Serial electrocardiograms of patients admitted to our institute with acute myocardial infarction were analyzed for QT dispersion, and compared with those of healthy age- and sex-matched controls. QT dispersion from 12 leads was measured as maximum QT minus minimum QT interval in ms.
