[Usefulness of the measurement of corrected QT (QTc) for the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy of the autonomic cardiovascular system]

(Przydatnosc oznaczen skorygowanego czasu QT (QTc) do rozpoznawania neuropatii cukrzycowej ukladu autonomicznego sercowo-naczyniowego.)

Full Abstract

Corrected QT interval was determined in diabetic patients and in a group of obese individuals with glucose intolerance. It was shown that the measurements of corrected QT (QTc) interval may be a reliable test in the diagnosis of the autonomic diabetic neuropathy. Its simplicity enables routine measurements in diabetic patients treated in out-patients clinics.
