SQTS is associated with aborted sudden cardiac death among the pediatric population. Asymptomatic patients with a Gollob score of <5 remained event free, except for an isolated episode of supraventricular tachycardia, over an average 6-year follow-up. A higher modified Gollob score of 5 or more was associated with the likelihood of clinical events. Young SQTS patients have a high rate of inappropriate ICD shocks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
