Abstrakt: The prognostic value of QT prolongation was evaluated in 109 patients with myocardial infarction. Patients who suffered from reinfarction during the first month or developed ventricular fibrillation and sudden death did not have longer QT intervals than patients without these complications. On the other hand, QT prolongation was of prognostic value in the prediction of late reinfarction. The reasons for varying results from different investigators are discussed.
