Abstract |
Increased QT dispersion and loss of sinus rhythm were both associated with sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the great arteries after Mustard and Senning operations at the early and late postoperative periods. A combination of increased QT dispersion with loss of sinus rhythm increases the positive predictive value for sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the great arteries after Mustard and Senning procedures.
