Abstract: Objective To assess the clinical significance of QT interval dispersion (QTd) in the diagnosis and prognosis of early heart damage in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods All patients received complete ECG,There were 58 patients with SAP (the SAP group) and 189 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (the control group).These patients were analyzed retrospectively and 60 normal people were used as the healthy control group.The QT interval were measured respectively in serial 12-lead electrocardiogram and QTd,QTcd were calculated.Result QTd and QTcd were significantly longer in the SAP group than in the MAP group and in the healthy control group (P＜0.01).QTd,QTcd were not remarkably extended in the MAP group than in the healthy control group (P＞0.05).Conclusions QTd and QTcd have clinical values to diagnose and to predict early heart damage in patients with SAP.They might be useful in evaluating the condition of cardiac function in patients with SAP.
