Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Short QT syndrome (SQTS) carries an increased risk for sudden cardiac death. However, only a short QT interval does not express the risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Thus, additional evaluation of the repolarization abnormality in SQTS patients is essential. In experimental models of SQTS, increased transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) and its electrocardiographic counterpart T-wave peak to...
