Abstract：
BACKGROUND:It has been reported in the literature that the increase in body temperature shortens QT interval on electrocardiogram through heart rate modulation. However, the effects of fever on ventricular repolarization are not clearly known. This study elaborates on QT interval of isolated fever, corrected QT (cQT), Tp-e interval, the ratio of corrected Tp-e (cTp-e) and Tp-e/QT, and their impacts on arrhythmia potential. METHODS:This prospective study was performed on 74 patients without any active and chronic diseases other than fever and upper respiratory tract infection. The study included patients at the age of 18-50 years suffering from fever above 38.2 °C. QT and Tp-e intervals of the patients were measured from their ECGs taken in febrile and afebrile periods. cQT and cTp-e values were calculated according to Bazett, Fridericia, and Framingham formulations. RESULTS:QT and Tp-e intervals were observed to be shorter in the febrile period (p < 0.001 and p = 0.006 respectively). cTp-e was found to be longer in the febrile period according to Bazett, Fridericia, and Framingham formulations (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p < 0.001, respectively). Tp-e/QT ratio was found to be higher in the febrile period than in the afebrile period (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:Although QT, cQT, and Tpe intervals were shorter, cTpe interval and Tpe/QT ratio were longer and higher in the febrile period, respectively. These findings may indicate that fever may create a proarrhythmic effect by causing variability in the transmural distribution of myocardial repolarization.
