Associations of ECG interval prolongations with mortality among ESRD patients evaluated for renal transplantation.

Background: It is unknown whether prolongation of electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals is associated with mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients evaluated for renal transplantation.

Material And Methods: We examined the relationship between 12-lead ECG interval measurements (PR >200 ms, QRS >110 ms, or QTC >450 ms) and the presence of none, 1, and 2 or more ECG interval prolongations with all-cause mortality in 930 adult ESRD patients evaluated for renal transplantation from August 2006 to October 2008 and followed through November 2010.

Results: A total of 108 (11.
