Diagnostic Value of the TpTe Interval in Children with Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Children with benign ventricular arrhythmias recorded on a standard ECG with prolonged TpTe and QT intervals and abnormal T-wave morphology require systematic and frequent cardiac check up with long term ECG recordings due to the possibility of future more severe ventricular arrhythmias. Further follow-up studies in even larger groups of patients are necessary to confirm the values of these repolarization parameters in clinical practice.
