Abstract
Objective: Corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation has been described after subarachnoid hemorrhage and head injury in adults. Abnormal QTc prolongation is associated with a higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to analyze QTc interval and QTc dispersion in children with severe head trauma.
