Abstract Background Carbon monoxide causes electrical, functional, and morphological changes in the heart. It is unclear, however, whether the indicators of myocardial damage can predict the patient’s prognosis after carbon monoxide poisoning. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between the carboxyhemoglobin level and electrocardiographic (ECG) changes and whether the ECG changes and troponin I levels are related to the patient’s prognosis after carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods Carboxyhemoglobin, troponin I, and ECG parameters were measured in 70 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. The QT and RR intervals were measured for each ECG lead in all patients, and the corrected QT interval and corrected QT dispersion were calculated. Results The correlation between the maximum corrected QT interval and the carboxyhemoglobin level was significant (P = 0.0072, R2 = 0.1017), as were the relationships between QT dispersion and carboxyhemoglobin (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.2358) and the corrected QT dispersion and carboxyhemoglobin (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.2613). The multivariate logistic analysis showed that the significant predictors of sequential disability were corrected QT dispersion (P = 0.0042), and troponin I level (P = 0.0021). Conclusions Patients’ prognosis following carbon monoxide poisoning can be predicted based on corrected QT dispersion and the troponin I level. Patients with myocardial damage should be monitored not only for their cardiovascular outcome but also for their neurological outcome and their prognosis.

Abstract Background Our aim was to describe the prevalence and prognostic significance of electrocardiographic features in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Methods Our data come from the Spanish Multicenter REgistry of TAKOtsubo syndrome (RETAKO). All patients with complete electrocardiogram were included. Results 246 patients were studied, mean age was 71.3±11.5 and 215 (87.4%) were women. ST-segment elevation was seen in 143 patients (59.1%) and was present in ≥2 wall leads in 97 (39.8%). Exclusive elevation in inferior leads was infrequent (5 - 2.0%). After 48 hours, 198 patients (88.0%) developed negative T-waves in a median of 8 leads with a mean amplitude of 0.7±0.5 mV. Mean corrected QT interval was 520±72 ms and it was independently associated with the primary endpoint of all-cause death and nonfatal cardiovascular events (p=0.002) and all-cause death (p=0.008). A higher heart rate at admission was also an independent predictor of the primary endpoint (p=0.001) and of developing acute pulmonary edema (p=0.04). ST-segment elevation with reciprocal depression was an independent predictor of all-cause death (p=0.04). Absence of ST-segment deviation was a protective factor (p=0.005) for the primary endpoint. Arrhythmias were independently associated with cardiogenic shock (p&lt;0.001). Conclusion Prolonged corrected QT interval, arrhythmia, heart rate at admission and broader repolarization alterations are associated with a poor outcome in TTS.
