Abstract :Background: The purpose was to examine the electrocardiographic arrhythmia risk determinants of the QT and P-wave dispersions of the patients who have Antisocial Personality Disorder insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ASPD); by comparing them with the healthy control group. Method: A total of 52 patients who were diagnosed with ASPD according to DSM-5 Criteria and a healthy control group that consisted of 54 people were included in the study. Twelve lead Electrocardiograms insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ECGs); were obtained from all participants in the supine position and at rest, and P-wave dispersion and QT dispersion were also calculated. The participants were administered the Beck Anxiety Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BAI);, Beck Depression Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BDI);, Buss-Durke Aggression Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BDAS);, Barratt Impulsivity Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BIS-11);, and sociodemographic clinical data form. The SPSS version 22 package program was used for statistical analyses. Results: The mean age of the ASPD group and control group were no statistically significant differences between them insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.092);. QT max insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.016);, QTd insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, P max insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, and Pd insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); values of the ASPD group were higher than the values of the control group at significant levels; and QT min insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); and P min insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); values were found to be significantly lower. The BAI, BDI, BDAS scores and the motor impulsiveness score of the BIS-11 subscales of the ASPD group were significantly higher than those of the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Discussion: The findings of study showed that ASPD patients were at risk for electrical problems of the heart, especially cardiac arrhythmia, and this must be considered in the general psychiatric follow-up of these patients.
