Preliminary investigation of T-wave peak-end interval and its ratio to QT interval in dogs with an echocardiographic phenotype of dilated cardiomyopathy and its possible correlation with left ventricular diameter and volume.

Abstract excerpt

Objective: The T-wave peak-end (TpTe) interval and its ratio to the QT interval (TpTe:QT) are ECG markers of myocardial repolarization dispersion. We hypothesized that these markers are associated with echocardiographic indices reflecting structural remodeling in dogs with the dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) phenotype and are minimally influenced by heart rate (HR). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in...
