摘要
In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrate that QTc interval duration is significantly associated with relative body mass and fatness. The underlying mechanisms and clinical significance of these findings remain unknown and are important topics for future investigation. Finally, obesity may be one of the most common causes of prolonged QTc intervals. © 1995 Excerpta Medica, Inc.
