We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of the effects of obesity±overweight
and weight loss on the corrected QT interval (QTc) and QT or QTc dispersion (indices of …

Obesity is known to be a strong predictor of sudden cardiac death. For this reason, concern
exists that this association may be related to delayed ventricular repolarization (VR), which …

Background Weight-stable obese subjects have an increased risk of arrhythmias and
sudden death, even in the absence of cardiac dysfunction, and the risk of sudden cardiac …

Background Ventricular repolarization (VR) increases the risk of sudden cardiac death due
to ventricular arrhythmia. We aimed to evaluate the blood pressure (BP) parameters …

Objective: Obese children, without arterial hypertension, may be a unique clinical
opportunity to evaluate the effect of obesity, per se, on ventricular repolarization, excluding …

Background Obesity has been reported to be associated with delayed ventricular
repolarization. The purpose of this study was to assess ventricular repolarization in …

Prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc) has been described in obese subjects. This
study assesses the relation of left ventricular (LV) mass to QTc in normotensive severely …

Background Both QT interval and body mass index (BMI) are independently associated with
mortality. Those with higher BMI have longer QT, although evidence is inconsistent. The joint …

Background Morbidly obese patients have an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is
well known that obesity prolongs the QT interval, which in turn may cause ventricular …

Obesity is associated with ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Numerous
studies have shown that obesity may have effects on the heart by affecting the ventricular re …
