| Parameter | Heart Failure (n = 6) |
Normal Left Ventricular
Function (n = 9) |
P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum QTF (leads II, V1, V5), s | 0.491 (0.482-0.522) | 0.495 (0.481-0.527) | .95 |
| Maximum QTF (lead II), s | 0.485 (0.474-0.494) | 0.490 (0.481-0.506) | .44 |
| Maximum change in QTF from pretreatment value (leads II, V1, V5), % |
17 (17-18) | 21 (13-29) | .78 |
| AUEC0-4, s·h | 1.86 (1.86-1.93) | 1.82 (1.81-1.84) | .04 |
| AUEC0-8, s·h | 3.67 (3.62-3.79) | 3.56 (3.52-3.60) | .04 |
Data are presented as median (interquartile range). AUEC, area under the effect curve for QTF interval versus time; QTF, Fridericia-corrected QT interval.
