Aldosterone-to-renin ratio is associated with reduced 24-hour heart rate variability and QTc prolongation in hypertensive patients
15siAbstract: Aldosterone is considered to exert direct effects on the
myocardium and the sympathetic nervous system. Both QT time and
heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) are considered to be markers of
arrhythmic risk and autonomous dysregulation. In this study, we
investigated the associations between aldosterone, QT time, and
HRV in patients with arterial hypertension.reservedmixedGrübler, Martin R.; Kienreich, Katharina; Gaksch, Martin; Verheyen, Nicolas; Hartaigh, Brain O.; Fahrleitner-Pammer, Astrid; März, Winfried; Schmid, Johannes; Oberreither, Eva-Maria; Wetzel, Julia; Catena, Cristiana; Sechi, Leonardo A.; Pieske, Burkert; Tomaschitz, Andreas; Pilz, StefanGrübler, Martin R.; Kienreich, Katharina; Gaksch, Martin; Verheyen, Nicolas; Hartaigh, Brain O.; Fahrleitner Pammer, Astrid; März, Winfried; Schmid, Johannes; Oberreither, Eva Maria; Wetzel, Julia; Catena, Cristiana; Sechi, Leonardo Alberto; Pieske, Burkert; Tomaschitz, Andreas; Pilz, Stefa
