Prolonged Tpeak‐Tend interval is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death in adults with congenital heart disease

摘要

Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients are at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, methods for risk stratification are not yet well‐defined. The Tpeak‐Tend (TpTe) interval, a measure of dispersion of ventricular repolarization, is a risk factor for SCD in non‐ACHD patients. We aim to evaluate whether TpTe can be used in risk stratification for SCD in ACHD patients.
