Effect of Acute Mental Stress on Heart Rate and QT Variability in Postmyocardial Infarction Patients

Effect of Acute Mental Stress on Heart Rate and QT Variability in Postmyocardial Infarction Patients

Emotionally charged events are associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this study we assessed RR and QT variability index (QTVI) at baseline during anger recall test (AR). We calculated QTVI from a 5-min ECG recording and from a 10-beats segment around the presumed maximu...
