QT interval dispersion is a marker of inhomogeneous ventricular repolarization, and therefore has the potential to predict re-entry arrhythmias. Following acute myocardial infarction, increased QT dispersion has been associated with a higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias. However, whether or not QT dispersion predicts prognosis post-acute myocardial infarction is not clear. We addressed this issue by analysing the AIREX study registry.
