Article Synopsis
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) increases QT dispersion (QTD) and rate-corrected QTD (QTcD), which heightens the risk of heart issues, particularly in elderly patients.
- The study aimed to compare the effects of ECT on heart parameters such as interbeat interval, QT interval, QTc interval, QTD, and QTcD between younger (30-40 years) and elderly (65-75 years) patients receiving propofol anesthesia.
- Results indicated that elderly patients had higher mean arterial pressure and significantly lower interbeat intervals immediately after ECT, while their QTD and QTcD were significantly higher than those of younger patients, indicating greater cardiovascular instability.
