The objective of this study was to determine whether there is a direct relationship between Alzheimer dementia (AD) and the QT interval, because the latter has been related to cardiac mortality. A systematic review and meta‐analysis were conducted after a Medline and EMBASE search using terms “Alzheimer disease or Dementia AND QT interval, QT dispersion or cardiac repolarization.” Four studies with control groups were identified. There were significant differences in QT interval between individuals with AD vs individuals without dementia (controls) (odds ratio (OR)1.665 [random effects model] and 1.879 [fixed effect model]) (p |
