Abnormal values of the spatial angle between the directions of ventricular depolarization and repolarization (QRS-T) reflect the action potential inhomogeneities and predict cardiac events and mortality in various patient groups. The study was designed to (i) compare QRS-T in haemodialysis (HD) patients and healthy subjects, (ii) assess the influence of HD on QRS-T and (iii) evaluate the possible associations between QRS-T and echocardiography, haemodynamic as well as biochemical parameters.
