Evaluation of Ventricular Repolarization Features with Tp-e, Tp-e/QTc, JTc and JTd during Electroconvulsive Therapy

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of electrical stimulation transmitted through the body during electroconvulsive therapy on traditional and relatively new ventricular repolarization parameters (Rate corrected QT interval (QTc), QT dispersion (QTd), rate corrected JT interval (JTc), JT dispersion (JTd), T-peak to T-end interval (Tp-e) and Tp-e/ QTc ratio) under propofol anaesthesia.
