Among the patients with ACS undergoing PCI, directly divided into shortened and prolonged QTcD groups regardless of initial pre-PCI QTcD, the shortened QTcD group showed a higher occurrence of in-hospital cardiac death and a greater pre-PCI QTcD. Shortened QTcD might be 1 risk factor for in-hospital cardiac death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
