Is qT dispersion in patients with mitral valve prolapse related to the echocardiographic degree of the prolapse and mitral leaflet thickness?
Our results indicate that QT and JT dispersions are related to the echocardiographic degree of MVP and mitral leaflet thickness. The echocardiographic assessment of the severity of the prolapse may help to identify a subgroup of patients at increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.
Early-life respiratory chlamydial infections modulate immune responses, alter lung function and structure, and enhance the severity of allergic airways disease in later life.
