“…Ventricular repolarization markers such as Tp-e interval, Tp-e/ QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios have been evaluated in many clinical situations [10][11][12][13][14] . The Tp-e interval may represent the transmural distribution of repolarization, and an increased Tp-e interval is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias.…”

OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular complexes are common in healthy individuals' ambulatory monitoring. The index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance may predict malignant ventricular arrhythmias. This study investigated the relation between Premature ventricular complex burden and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in 24-h Holter monitoring. METHODS: A total of 257 patients who were admitted to a cardiology outpatient clinic without structural heart disease and underwent 24-h Holter monitoring were included in the study. Demographic features, laboratory parameters, and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic values of all patients were obtained from the hospital database. Patients were categorized into the following four groups according to their premature ventricular complex burden: ≤5% premature ventricular complexes as group 1, >6 and ≤10% premature ventricular complexes as group 2, >11 and ≤20% premature ventricular complexes as group 3, and >20% premature ventricular complexes as group 4. QRS, QT, and T peak to end interval were measured by resting electrocardiography. QT interval was corrected using Bazett's formula. T peak to end interval/QT, T peak to end interval/corrected QT interval, index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance, and corrected index of cardio-electrophysiological balance ratios were calculated. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between groups regarding cardiovascular risk factors. In group 4, beta-blocker usage was significantly higher, and the serum magnesium levels were significantly lower than in other groups. There was no difference in QT duration or index of cardiacelectrophysiological balance values; however, corrected index of cardio-electrophysiological balance was significantly lower in the highest premature ventricular complex group (5.1, 5.1, 4.8, 4.7, p=0.005). In multivariate backward logistic regression analyses, it was found that lower corrected index of cardio-electrophysiological balance, lower serum magnesium levels, lower serum creatinine levels, larger left atrium size, and higher T peak to end interval were associated with higher premature ventricular complexes. CONCLUSION: Corrected index of cardio-electrophysiological balance is a novel and noninvasive marker that can predict premature ventricular complex burden in patients with structurally normal hearts.
