Abstract

Background: Prolongation of the peak-to-end interval of the T wave (Tp-e) has been reported as associated with ventricular arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to investigate the ventricular repolarization by using the Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/ QTc ratio in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH).
