The QT interval is a measure of the combination of cardiac depolarization and repolarization as it encompasses both the QRS complex and the J-T interval. QT, QTc, QTd prolongation or shortening has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias . In order to define non-torsogenic drug-induced arrhythmias, the index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB), which is a new marker calculated with the QT/QRS formula, has been defined. In our study, we planned to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine and propofol on cardiac electrophysiology with all these parameters, especially the newly defined iCEB.
