A Clinical Risk Score to Improve the Diagnosis of Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy in Childhood
Abstract Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a treatable cause of heart failure in children, but there is little information as to which clinical variables best discriminate TIC from other forms of cardiomyopathy.

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a treatable cause of heart failure in children, but there is little information as to which clinical variables best discriminate TIC from other forms of cardiomyopathy. TIC cases with dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) from 16 participating centers were identified and compared to controls with other forms of DC. Presenting clinical, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics were collected. Heart rate (HR) percentile was defined as HR/median HR for age, and PR index as the PR/RR interval. P-wave morphology (PWM) was defined as possible sinus or non-sinus based on a predefined algorithm. Eighty TIC cases and 135 controls were identified. Cases demonstrated lower z-scores for LVEDD and LVESD than DC controls (4.3 vs 6.5, p |
