- Conditions

- Registration Number
- NCT04127162
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Roma La Sapienza
- Brief Summary
Background and objectives Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and it is a major cause of emergency department access for cardiovascular disease patients. Aim of this study is to identify the markers, based on short-term temporal repolarization dispersion, capable to individuate decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF) patients at high mortality risk.
Method: We will obtain the following variables from ECG monitor, via mobile phone, during 5-minute recordings in decompensated CHF patients: RR, QT end (QTe), QT peak (QTp) and T peak to T end (Te) and we calculated mean, standard deviation (SD) and normalized index (N).
