Cases were metropolitan area 1 000 residents (2002 2006); controls but no history SCD. All cases required have ECG suitable for analysis before unrelated occurrence total 373 309 met criteria analysis. Mean significantly longer than (450±45 versus 433±37 ms; P<0.0001). multivariate model, gender, diabetes mellitus, QTc-prolonging drugs significant controls. logistic regressio...
