| Abstract |
:
Anorexia nervosa is associated with a markedly increased risk of sudden cardiac death, but the mechanism has not been elucidated. Whether QT prolongation is an intrinsic feature of eating disorders is uncertain because previous studies are limited by small sample size, and extrinsic factors associated with QT prolongation were inconsistently reported. This study set to determine population-mean heart-rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) in an unselected cohort of patients with eating disorders. |
