Electrocardiographic Parameters Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Children with Cardiomyopathies.

ABSTRACT: Cardiomyopathies have a low prevalence in children and thus may lead to malignant ventricular arrhythmias or the progression of heart failure, resulting in death. In adults, the QRS-T angle derived from ECG has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients with hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. We aimed to assess the electrocardiographic parameters, including QRS-T angle, associated with adverse cardiac events in children with cardiomyopathies. Forty-two children with cardiomyopathies were included in this study: 19 with dilated cardiomyopathy, 17 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and 6 with left ventricular non-compaction. Additionally, 19 control subjects were recruited. In terms of ECG parameters, the QRS-T angle was significantly greater among patients with adverse outcome
