Modulation of the QT interval duration in hypertension with antihypertensive treatment
Original language description
The duration of the QT interval as measured by 12-lead electrocardiography is a measure of myocardial repolarization and is widely used to describe cardiac abnormalities, to determine the presence of cardiac toxicity and to evaluate drug safety. In hypertension, the QT interval is a predictor of the risk of both coronary events and cardiovascular death, after adjusting for the effects of additional risk factors. The mechanism of QT interval prolongation is multifactorial and includes cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass, with accompanying changes in left ventricular transmural dispersion of repolarization, as well as changes in the tone of the autonomic nervous system of some patients with hypertension and mechano-electrical feedback, although this mechanism is less likely. Antihypertensive drugs vary in their effect on QT interval duration. The mechanisms underlying their effect depend on changes in left ventricular mass and autonomic nervous system tone, as w
