The impact of multiple sclerosis onset symptom on cardiac repolarization

ConclusionsCardiac repolarization prolonged and heart rate increased during the disease course in RRMS patients with motor but not with sensory onset symptom. This suggests different traits in RRMS according to its initial manifestation and also association of motor onset symptom with more unfavorable cardiovascular prognostic determinants. Multiple sclerosis is associated with prolonged cardiac repolarization but the underlying physiology has remained unknown. In this study, cardiac repolarization was found to prolong and heart rate increase during the disease course in RRMS patients with motor but not with sensory onset symptom. This finding enhances the understanding of different traits in RRMS according to its initial manifestation.
