Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder associated with important cardiovascular complications including ventricular arrhythmias. Tp‐Te interval, Tp‐Te/QT, and Tp‐Te/QTc ratios are repolarization indices representing ventricular arrhythmogenic potential. These parameters are associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between apnea–hypopnea index and Tp‐Te, Tp‐Te/QT, and Tp‐Te/QTc in OSA.
