Abstract
QT interval duration and dispersion are good markers of subclinical atherosclerosis represented in the carotid IMT and plaques , and found them to be higher in type 2 diabetic patients than normal persons and also more prolonged in type 2 diabetic patients with evidence of CAD.QT interval duration and dispersion strongly correlated to the severity of CAD in type 2 diabetic patients.QT interval duration and dispersion strongly correlated to the LV systolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients with CAD.Carotid IMT is a good predictor of the severity of CAD, and strongly correlated to the severity and extent of coronary lesions in type 2 diabetic patients.In type 2 diabetic patients with and without CAD, hs-CRP strongly correlated to carotid IMT , and the severity of CAD, this correlation makes hs-CRP a strong indicator of atherosclerosis , and also a marker that can accurately predicts subclinical atherosclerosis.Hs-CRP strongly correlated to QT interval duration and dispersion in type 2 diabetic patients with and without CAD. This correlation gives both QT interval parameters and CRP a strong evidence to be good markers for detecting evident atherosclerosis, and also to predict the risk for ongoing subclinical atherosclerosis process.
