Cardiovascular risk assessment by electrocardiographic Holter monitoring in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Conclusions: We confirmed the presence of autonomic disorders with prevalence of sympathetic system activity and prolonged QTc interval in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Those parameters significantly correlated with infection intensity. Our results suggest that HCV infection could be an independent cardiovascular risk factor, not associated with the lipid profile. Further prospective studies are needed. PMID: 32863991 [PubMed]
