QT interval variability provides information on ventricular vulnerability. However, QT interval variability in children has not been adequately evaluated.
One hundred seventy-three consecutive nursing infants and children (male-female, 106:67) up to school age with no intrinsic cardiac disease were included in this study, and they were categorized into 6 age-related groups. The QT variability index (QTVI) was calculated based on an electrocardiogram; and age-specific standard values, sex-specific classification, and a standard growth curve covering 0 to 7 years were constructed.
The QTVI decreased in an age-dependent manner, reached constant values after school age, and exhibited no sex-specific differences in 6 age-related groups.
Based on the age-dependent standardized QTVI values, it is possible to estimate the instability of ventricular repolarization in pediatric patients with better accuracy.
QT间期变异性可提供关于心室易损性的信息。然而,儿童的QT间期变异性尚未得到充分评估。
本研究纳入了173例无先天性心脏病的学龄以下连续护理婴儿和儿童(男女性别比为106:67),并将他们分为6个年龄相关组。基于心电图计算QT变异性指数(QTVI);构建了0至7岁的年龄特异性标准值、性别特异性分类和标准生长曲线。
QTVI呈年龄依赖性下降,学龄后达到恒定值,在6个年龄相关组中未表现出性别特异性差异。
基于年龄依赖性标准化QTVI值,可以更准确地估计儿科患者心室复极的不稳定性。
