The relationship between serum glucose, insulin level, insulin resistance and electrocardiographic parameters

Abstract

Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM), impaired fasting glucose and hyperinsulinemia-Insulin resistance (IR) are well known risk factor for coronary heart disease. However, the relationship between diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose, hiperinsulinemi and electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters (heart rate, QRS width, and repolarization parameters, such as QT, QTc and JTc) has not been studied exactly yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose, hiperinsulinemi and electrocardiographic repolarization parameters in Turkish population.
