Evaluation of T/QT and T/QTc ratios in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous intervention vs. thrombolytic therapy.

Introduction: The patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) are significantly at increased risk of arrhythmia. Repolarization of myocardium has been evaluated by a series of electrical parameters including T wave peak to T wave end (Tp-Te) and Tp-Te/QT ratio. Which were compared with survival outcomes between two groups of STEMI patients treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) and recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (r-TPA).
