The article discusses the problem of myocardial repolarization of the patients with stable angina and type 2 diabetes. Particular attention to the connection between the level of the blood glucose and the duration of the interval QT is paid. Also particular attention to the relation between the level of blood glucose and the prolongation of the QT interval is paid. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia prolong interval QT, increasing the risk of fatal ventricular arrhythmias.

Key words: Interval QT, ventricular arrhythmias, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes.
