Abstract:
We investigated the relation between clinical features and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). One hundred and fifty-six PD patients were enrolled. Their clinical features [body mass index (BMI), age, disease duration, and disease stage] and ECG parameters [RR, PR, QRS, and QT intervals, and heart rate-corrected QT (QTc)] were analyzed. BMI was positively correlated with the PR and QRS intervals in patients with PD. The QRS interval was positively correlated with disease duration and Hoehn and Yahr stage, and the QT interval and QTc were positively correlated with age. Clinical features and ECG parameters are likely to be closely associated with each other. Several ECG parameters reflect autonomic dysfunction or disease progression. Clinicians should pay more attention to ECG parameters in the treatment of PD patients.
