Changes of the cardiac electrical cycle in type 1 diabetes during hypoglycaemia – a prospective observational study
Daytime hypoglycaemia is an unlikely cause of malignant arrhythmias in healthy patients with type 1 diabetes. The minimal increase in the QTc interval alone does not suggest an increased risk of malignant arrhythmias. However, the increase in the mean QTc together with an increase in its SD during nighttime hypoglycaemia is compatible with the extremely rare occurrence of the "dead-in-bed" syndrome.
