Abstract

Background: Long QT syndrome is a disorder that increases the risk of sudden death from severe arrhythmia in patients with coronary artery disease. Objective: To surveying of prevalence clinical and subclinical characteristics, some related factors of long QT syndrome in patients with coronary artery disease. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 922 patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized at Cardiology Center, Can Tho Central General Hospital. Results: The results showed that 59 patients had long QT syndrome (6.4%). The proportion of women was 1.8 times that of men. Statistically significant related factors were: Female (p<0.01), BMI underweight (p<0.01), hypokalemia (p=0.024), hypocalcemia (p<0.01) and use multiple drugs that prolong the QT interval (p=0.017). Conclusion: The rate of QT prolongation in patients with coronary artery disease is 6.4% and the treatment issue should take into account related factors such as female, BMI underweight, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and the use of multiple drugs that prolong the QT interval to limit the risk of severe arrhythmias.
