Association between corrected QT interval and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in elderly patients who had undergone endovascular therapy for lower extremity arterial disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population-based studies have reported the association between prolonged corrected QT (QTc) intervals and an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Data regarding the association between longer QTc intervals and incident cardiovascular outcomes in patients with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) are scarce.

Objective

To examine the impact of QTc interval on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in elderly patients with symptomatic LEAD.

Methods

This cohort study extracted data from the Tzu-chi Registry of ENDovascular Intervention for Peripheral Artery Disease (TRENDPAD) and enrolled 504 patients aged ≥ 70 treated with endovascular therapy for atherosclerotic LEAD from July 1, 2005, to December 31, 2019. The main outcomes of interest were all-cau
