Children malnutrition involves simultaneous deficiency of nutrients, leading to cardiac morphological and functional alterations. In this complex condition repolarization abnormalities can evolve. Also sexual dimorphism is a well-established phenomenon, but its influence on ventricular repolarization varies tremendously among races. No data are available about African children, so the aim of our work was to study the correlation between malnourishment and electrocardiographic repolarization parameters, and evaluating the sex influence.

Abstract
Children malnutrition involves simultaneous deficiency of nutrients, leading to cardiac morphological and functional alterations. In this complex condition repolarization abnormalities can evolve. Also sexual dimorphism is a well-established phenomenon, but its influence on ventricular repolarization varies tremendously among races. No data are available about African children, so the aim of our work was to study the correlation between malnourishment and electrocardiographic repolarization parameters, and evaluating the sex influence.File in questo prodotto:
