The effect of Turkish bath on QT dispersion

Abstract: Objective: It is known that QT intervals might differ from each other on electrocardiogram (ECG). It is also known that diversity of QT interval between derivations is an indicator of heterogeneity of repolarization and it is a leading electrophysiological cause of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden heart death. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the Turkish bath on QT dispersion. Methods: A total of 47 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the prospective study. The 12-lead ECG recordings were taken in … Show more

“…The average air temperature of a sauna is usually between 80 and 100°C, with a humidity level of around 10-15 %. The air temperature of a Turkish bath is much lower (35-45°C), while the humidity is significantly higher (80-95 %) (Hannuksela and Ellahham 2001;Goksugur et al 2006;Unubol et al 2010;Aydin et la 2013). A typical Turkish bath consists of three basic, interconnected rooms, along with a water storage area.…”
