QT prolongation and excessive variability predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation in the health screening data of Japanese adults
In the general Japanese population, QTc prolongation and large QT variability are risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation. QT prolongation and large QT variability during sinus rhythm may be good markers for predicting not only ventricular but also atrial arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.
