Abstract


There is increasing interest in Q.T. dispersion as arrythmogenic marker being a marker of inhomogenicity of ventricular repolarization.

"
This study was performed to assess Q.T. dispersion in hypertensive

patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy.



The study included 50 hypertensive patients and were divided into

2 groups.



Group 1: Included 25 hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertophy.


Group II: Including 25 hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertophy.


Every patients was subjected to full history taking and thorough clinical examination analysis of serum Na, K, ECG for measurement of Q.T. dispersion and echocardiogrpahy for detection of left ventricular mass.


The study concluded that:

Q.T. dispersion is increased m presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients while dispersion is within normal in hypertensives without left ventricular hypertrophy.
