This study aimed to evaluate the impact of TH on corrected QT (QTc) intervals in PCA patients. A total of 48 patients (mean age 63.2 ± 11.3 years) who survived cardiac arrest and underwent TH were included. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and serum electrolyte levels were assessed before and after TH. The QT and QTc intervals were measured using Bazett's formula, and QT dispersion (QTd) was calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum QT intervals.
