“…Currently available studies report controversial results regarding QTd and prognosis in HCMP. QTd (14) and QT prolongation (15) have been reported in HCMP previously. Maron et al (16) found that QT dispersion has no prognostic value in term of sudden death in patients with HCMP.…”

“…Although, there are many controversial studies on it's prognostic value (14)(15)(16)(17)(18), QT dispersion is supposed to be clinically important measure for heart diseases. Both QT dispersion and corrected OT dispersion are accepted as an indicator of arrhythmic events and general abnormality of repolarization (20)(21)(22)(23).…”

“…The mechanism of the VT was determined to be reentry which is often caused by myocardial fibrosis or fatty infiltration as a result of infarction or cardiomyopathy. Myocardial fibrosis is thought to possibly cause spatial dispersion of the cardiac impulse supporting reentrant arrhythmias (Dritsas et al 1992;Yi et al 1998;Shirani et al 2000;McDowell et al 2008). Tada et al speculated that the glycogen accumulation in the heart may have led to a ventricular conduction delay which drove the reentrant circuit and thereby caused the VT.…”

“…Electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters have been studied for their utility as prognostic non-invasive markers in sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk assessment. The prolongation of the frequency corrected QT interval (QTc) and increased QTc dispersion (characterizing spatial repolarization heterogeneity) were observed in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) [Buja et al 1993;Dritsas et al 1992;Yi et al 1998]. However, QTc prolongation and QTc dispersion have been found not to be predictive for SCD in HCM patients [Yi et al 1998;Maron et al 2001].…”
