Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators thought to explore arrhythmias outcome - hidden arrhythmias, ECG features: Tp-Te interval and Tp-Te/QTc ratio, fQRS among patients with coronary artery ectasia as compared to normal coronary artery patients.
Detailed Description
All patients will be subjected to: A. Full history taking: - Including age, sex, history of DM, HTN, dyslipidemia and Body surface area. B. Holter monitoring for 24 hours: * Heart rate variability * Hidden arrhythmias * Hidden ischemia by monitoring ST segment changes C. Twelve lead ECG: * fQRS in baseline ECG * QT dispersion. * Tp-Te interval and Tp-Te/QTc ratio * Tp-Te dispersion
