Identification of patients with congestive heart failure at risk of sudden death remains problematic and few data are available on the prognostic implications of QT dispersion. We sought to assess the predictive value of QT dispersion for arrhythmic events in heart failure secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy or ischaemic heart disease.
