Abstract
To assess Ventricular repolarization features as predictors of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) in patients with previous myocardial infarction, we p erformed a dynamic study of QT interval from 24-hour electrocardiographic d ata. QT rate dependence was enhanced in patients with VT when compared with patients without VT.
