Objective: We aimed to investigate whether there is a change in Tp-e interval, Tp-e/
QT and Tp-e/QTc ratios in patients with brain death.
Materials and Methods: Fifty brain death patients and 50 age and sex matched healthy
controls were included in the study. In addition to routine evaluation, Tp-e interval,
Tp-e / QT and Tp-e / QTc ratios were measured in 12-lead electrocardiography. Tp-e
was measured in the precordial leads using the Tail method; the time from the peak
of the T wave to the point where the wave reached the isoelectric line.
Results: White blood cell, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and
high sensitive c reactive protein levels were significantly higher in patients with brain
death. The frequency of patients with QTc prolongation, Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT and
Tp-e/QTc values were significantly higher in patients with brain death (p <0.05). Tp-e
interval, Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc values were found to be positively correlated with
HsCRP (p<0.001 for all).
Conclusion: Tp-e interval, Tp-e / QT and Tp-e / QTc ratios are increased in patients
with brain death compared to healthy controls. The mechanisms of this association
and possible relationship with neuroendocrine changes should be investigated in future studies.
