Popis: Objective: To evaluate ventricular repolarization parameters using the interval from the peak to the end of the T wave (Tp–Te), together with QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals, QT dispersion (QTd), and Tp-Te/QTc ratio in patients with Turner syndrome (pwTS) and to compare the results with those from healthy controls. Methods: In total, 38 patients previously diagnosed with Turner syndrome (TS) and 35 healthy girls (controls) were included in our cross-sectional study. Twelve-lead electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography after a 30-min rest were performed. The QT, QTc, QTd, Tp-Te interval, and Tp-Te/QTc ratio were determined. Results: No differences in age or sex were observed between the groups. QT intervals were similar in both groups [pwTS: 354.76±25.33 ms, controls (C): 353.29±17.51 ms, p=0.775]. pwTS had significantly longer QTc and QTd than controls (411.87±22.66 ms vs. 392.06±13.21 ms, p
