Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by persistent airflow restriction and respiratory symptoms. Studies demonstrated that cardiac arrhythmias and cardiovascular mortality increased in these patients as a result of altered myocardial repolarization. Frontal QRS‐T angle is a novel marker of myocardial depolarization and repolarization heterogeneity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between frontal QRS‐T angle and disease severity in patients with newly diagnosed COPD.
