摘要：

Our data show that although estrogen does not seem to affect the QT interval in healthy women, it significantly decreases the QT dispersion. This finding could provide an explanation to the gender differences in susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias, besides the difference in the incidence of coronary artery disease.
