Abstract
The observed alterations in RRV and QTV may reflect impaired cardiac autonomic function that could underlie risk for abnormal ventricular repolarization and thereby increase the risk of sudden death and other arrhythmias. Our data suggest that RRV and QTV alterations may be independent of medication effects in first episode psychosis patients.
