Abstract :
This study assesses the effect of a first cigarette smoked in the morning on the QT interval duration in healthy habitual smokers after not smoking overnight. This study demonstrates that although after cigarette smoking the QTBc values increase, the QTFc and QTLc values remained unchanged, and an increased sympathetic response was evident. The discrepancies between the results seen by different QT correction formulas emphasize the importance of selecting an accurate method for heart rate correction when evaluating and interpreting alterations in QT values.
