ObjectiveAbout 50% of patients with sepsis have different degrees of myocardial inhibition, known as sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD), which increases the mortality rate of sepsis. Tp-Te interval and Tp-Te/QT ratio reflect ventricular transmural dispersion repolarization (TDR), and have good predictive value for death in patients with heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of Tp-Te and Tp-Te/QT in patients with sepsis. MethodsThe current study included a total of 625 participants: 201 patients with sepsis, 213 patients with heart failure, and 211 healthy participants. According to the severity and outcome, the patients with sepsis were divided into the sepsis group and the septic shock group, and the death group and the survival group to explore the differences of indicators among subgroups of sepsis. The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the indicators for deaths of patients with sepsis and calculate the cutoff point. Then, we investigated the incidence of arrhythmia in patients with sepsis with different TDR. The correlation between Tp-Te/QT and the commonly used predictive indicators in ICU was also discussed. Results(1) Tp-Te and Tp-Te/QT in patients with sepsis and heart failure (HF) were significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.01). (2) Compared with patients with sepsis, the increase of Tp-Te and Tp-Te/QT is more prominent in patients with HF. Especially, the increase of the Tp-Te/QT was statistically significant (p < 0.001). (3) compared with patients with sepsis (no shock), the Tp-Te, Tp-Te/QT, and SOFA were increased in patients with septic shock (p < 0.05). (4) In the death group, Tp-Te /QT, SOFA, and Apache-II were higher; LVEF was lower than the survival group (p < 0.05). (5) ROC curves showed that Tp-Te/QT, SOFA, and LVEF have predictive values for death (p < 0.05; AUC = 0.808, 0.716, 0.412). The cutoff point of Tp-Te/QT was 0.32. (6) The incidence of arrhythmia is different in patients with sepsis with different TDR. (7) There is a significant correlation between Tp-Te/QT and SOFA (p < 0.001, r = 0.79). ConclusionTDR in patients with sepsis is significantly increased, which was between healthy population and patients with HF. Tp-Te and Tp-Te/QT are effective indicators to reflect the severity and poor outcome of patients with sepsis.
