ABSTRACT SESSION 16: NONINVASIVE III: QT AND T WAVE ALTERNANS.
- Abstract
This article focuses on recent medical investigations related to T wave alternans. Previous studies have shown that T wave alternans (TWA) is a marker of susceptibility to sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. In the study, "Heart Rate Threshold Is Important for Detecting T Wave Alternans," the heart rate threshold, needed to detect TWA during exercise in 22 consecutive patients undergoing evaluation for ventricular ectopic activity, were studied. The article further focuses on the study "High Prevalence of Normal QT Intervals in Patients With the Inherited Long QT Syndrome: Important Implications for Diagnosis."
