Abstract

BACKGROUND: Anemia is a common health problem worldwide and is associated with a poor prognosis for cardiovascular diseases. It can alter myocardial depolarization and repolarization by affecting the generation and propagation of electrical impulses. The frontal QRS-T angle is a novel marker of the absolute difference between myocardial depolarization and repolarization. This study investigated the effects of anemia on the frontal QRS-T angle.
