Effects of fluorosis on QT dispersion, heart rate variability and echocardiographic parameters in children – Original Investigation

March 2011 | The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg) | Karademir S, Akcam M, Kuybulu AE, Olgar S, Oktem F | 11(2):150-155
… We found statistically significant low T4 levels, hypocalcemia and hyponatremia, increased QT and QTc interval in children with dental fluorosis. Our results show that fluorosis might increase risk of arrhythmia indirectly, due to its hypocalcemic, hypernatremic, and hypothyroidism effects… Further studies concerning cardiovascular effect of fluorosis in both adults and children are needed.
