dc.description.abstractObjective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy in reproductive women. Cardiovascular disease risk factors are more frequent in this population. We aimed in this study to investigate presence of QT dispersion and effects of sex hormones and insulin on QT duration in young PCOS patients. Methods: This present study was cross-sectional observational study. A total of 47 women, 25 patients with PCOS and 22 healthy, were included. Serum testosterone, estradiol and insulin levels were studied and electrocardiography was performed at 2nd or 3th days of menstrual cycle. The study population was divided into groups according to serum testosterone and estradiol levels. Sub-groups and pairwise groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U or student t-test. The associations of QTc durations with hormone levels were calculated using Spearman rank correlation analysis. The results were evaluated at the p<0.05 significance level. Results: No differences found between groups regarding to demographic parameters. Estradiol and testosterone levels were higher in patients with PCOS (41.12 +/- 13.59 vs. 35.57 +/- 19.29 pg/mL, p=0.09 and 105 +/- 58.5 vs. 17.6 +/- 10.9 ng/dL, p=0.01, respectively). QT dispersion was significantly longer in PCOS patients (47.1 vs. 32.7 ms, p=0.01). A positive correlation was found between the serum insulin level and QTc min, QTc max, and QTc mean (r=0.402, p=0.011; r=0.341, p=0.033; r=0.337, p=0.036; respectively). QT dispersion with serum testosterone and estradiol levels were positively correlated (r=0.525, p=0.001and r=0.326, p=0.046; respectively). Conclusion: Our results suggest that QT dispersion is prolonged and testosterone, estradiol and insulin are associated with QT duration in young PCOS patients.
