Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between the QT dispersion in simple central obesity youth and carotid atherosclerosis. Methods 38 patients with simple central obesity (obesity group) aged from 18 to 35 years, and 34 normal weight healthy control subjects (control group), age-matched were chosen. The blood pres-sure(BP) ,body mass index(BMI) ,waist-hip ratio(WHR) ,QTd,QTcd,plus the ultrasound examination of the inti-ma-media thickness(IMT) of carotid were measured and plaques on the patients' carotid artery were detected. Re-sults Comparing to the control group,BP,BMI,WHR,QTd,QTcd were larger in the obesity group with significant difference (P < 0.05) ; When QT dispersion was > 50 ms, the risk of IMT was higher than that when QT dispersion was < 50 ms (OR = 7.0,P < 0.05). Condnsion In the youth who are simple central obesity, their QT disper-sions are over the normal reference value, intima-media thickness are abnormal; the risk of IMT is higher when QT dispersion is > 50 ms; suggesting that QT dispersion can be one of reference index for forecasting the cardiovascular disease.
