Popis: Introduction: Cardiac surgery involves a series of aggressive mechanical and chemical elements that affect the cardiac muscle; which may be shown by the electrocardiogram. Objectives: To evaluate whether electrocardiographic measurements reflecting ventricular depolarization and repolarization are prolonged after cardiac surgery. Method: We studied 51 patients with cardiac surgery who underwent an electrocardiogram before and after surgery. The difference between QT, QTc, QT dispersion, TPEAK-TEND interval (TP-TE), TP-TE dispersion and QRS duration, before and after surgery was compared using the T test. Results: Electrocardiogram after surgery showed significantly higher QTc values, QT dispersion, TP-TE, TP-TE dispersion and QRS duration (p
