Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ECG features of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) patients with KCNJ2 mutations (ATS1) have not been systematically assessed. This study aimed to define ECG features of KCNJ2 mutation carriers, to determine whether characteristic T-U-wave patterns exist, and to establish whether T-U patterns predict the ATS1 genotype. METHODS AND RESULTS: In phase I, evaluation of T-U morphology in ECGs of 39 KCNJ2...
