      interval in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with 
      percutaneous coronary intervention.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: T-peak-T-end (TPE) interval, which represents the dispersion of 
      repolarization, is defined as the interval between the peak and end of the 
      T-wave, and is associated with increased malignant ventricular arrhythmia and 
      sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction 
      (STEMI). Although prolonged TPE interval is associated with poor short- and 
      long-term outcomes, even in patients with STEMI treated with successful primary 
      percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), clinical, angiographic, and laboratory 
      parameters that affect TPE remain to be elucidated. The aim of our study was to 
      evaluate the potential relationship between prolonged TPE interval and 
      reperfusion success using ST segment resolution (STR) in patients with STEMI 
      undergoing pPCI. METHODS: In the current study, 218 consecutive patients with 
      STEMI who underwent pPCI were enrolled; after exclusion, 164 patients were 
      included in the study population. RESULTS: Patients were divided into two groups 
      according to the presence of complete (STR%>/=70) or incomplete (STR%<70) STR. 
      Preprocedural corrected TPE (cTPEPRE;116+/-21 ms vs. 108+/-21 ms; p=0.027), 
      postprocedural TPE (TPEPOST; 107+/-16 ms vs. 92+/-21 ms; p<0.001), and postprocedural 
      cTPE (cTPEPOST; 119+/-19 ms vs. 102+/-17 ms; p<0.001) intervals were significantly 
      longer in patients with incomplete STR than in patients with complete STR, 
      whereas there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups 
      in terms of pre- and postprocedural and corrected QT intervals. cTPEPRE and 
      cTPEPOST were found to be independent predictors for incomplete STR. CONCLUSION: 
      To our knowledge, this is the first study that evaluated the relationship between 
      TPE interval and no-reflow defined by STR in patients with STEMI who were treated 
      with pPCI.
