Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Substance abuse poses a significant global health challenge, particularly due to its adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. This study investigates the association between substance abuse and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, specifically the QT interval, corrected QT (QTc) interval, and the novel Tp-e interval, to assess potential arrhythmogenic risks.
