The electrocardiographic index Tpeak-Tend has been proposed as a marker of dispersion of repolarization and may be a stronger predictor of torsade de pointes risk than QTc prolongation.
We assessed whether quinidine-induced Tpeak-Tend prolongation is greater in women than men. The relationship between QTc prolongation and quinidine concentration was greater in women than men (38 ± 10 vs. 28 ± 9 ms/μg/ml, p=0.02), but there was no difference for Tpeak-Tend prolongation (39 ± 13 vs. 32 ± 13 ms/μg/ml, p=0.21). There was a delay (hysteresis) between peak concentration and both maximum QTc and Tpeak-Tend prolongation and a trend toward higher serum quinidine concentration in men than women. Analysis controlling for hysteresis showed no sex difference for QTc (55 ± 18 vs. 43 ± 19 ms/μg/ml, p=0.14), without changing the lack of sex difference with Tpeak-Tend (61 ± 22 vs. 55 ± 21 ms/μg/ml, p=0.49).
Women do not have a greater quinidine-induced Tpeak-Tend prolongation than men. Sex differences in hysteresis and serum quinidine concentration in this study may have contributed to sex differences in quinidine-induced QTc prolongation.
心电图指标Tpeak-Tend已被提议作为复极离散度的标志物,并且可能是比QTc延长更强的尖端扭转型室速风险预测指标。
我们评估了奎尼丁诱导的Tpeak-Tend延长在女性中是否比男性更显著。女性中QTc延长与奎尼丁浓度之间的关系比男性更显著(38±10对28±9毫秒/微克/毫升,p=0.02),但Tpeak-Tend延长无差异(39±13对32±13毫秒/微克/毫升,p=0.21)。在峰值浓度与最大QTc及Tpeak-Tend延长之间存在延迟(滞后),且男性血清奎尼丁浓度有高于女性的趋势。控制滞后因素的分析显示,QTc无性别差异(55±18对43±19毫秒/微克/毫升,p=0.14),同时Tpeak-Tend仍无性别差异(61±22对55±21毫秒/微克/毫升,p=0.49)。
女性奎尼丁诱导的Tpeak-Tend延长并不比男性更显著。本研究中滞后及血清奎尼丁浓度的性别差异可能导致了奎尼丁诱导的QTc延长的性别差异。
