QT interval, general mortality and the role of echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular hypertrophy: Results from the prospective, population-based CARLA study

Conclusion In the general population, the association between QTc and general mortality is strongest in subjects with low left ventricular mass index and diastolic thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall, thus the prognostic value of QTc needs to be interpreted with regard to these echocardiographic parameters.
