Letters to the Editor: Cardiovascular effects of Turkish bath and sauna/The effect of Turkish bath on QT dispersion

We read with interest and attention an interesting study by Ünübol et al. (1) titled ‘The effect of Turkish bath on QT dispersion ’published in the latest issue of the journal. Turkish baths have been reported to have no effect on QT dispersion in the healthy subjects. Although the Turkish bath is an ancient Anatolian culture, the popularity is not as much as earlier especially in large cities. However, culture is still continuing in certain areas. Even though many cardiac patients are not in such a demand, a result of increasing awareness of cardiovascular health, many subjects direct to cardiologists some questions related to Turkish bath and sauna.
