In this study we investigated the relationship between MTWA and postoperative mortality in 330 cardiac surgery patients. Electrocardiogram, official national data and electric chart were analysed to provide in-hospital and mid-term outcome. MTWA at the end of surgery was significantly associated with in-hospital mortal ...[more]
