    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
