JTp can be used to evaluate the variability of the repolarization time in healthy infants, and may be useful for detection of early repolarization abnormalities.
QTVI, -0.55 ± 0.61 vs. -1.10 ± 0.53; JTVI, -0.33 ± 0.60 vs. -0.86 ± 0.57; JTpVI, -0.15 ± 0.78 vs. -0.73 ± 0.56; Tp-eVI, 0.75 ± 0.70 vs. 0.11 ± 0.73, respectively; p < 0.05). No correlation was found between the QTVI and corrected QT interval using linear regression analysis. These repolarization characteristics provide not only electrophysiological indices but also a new index with which to assess the pathophysiology of congenital heart disease.
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.
