The usefulness of surface electrocardiogram as a prognostic predictor in children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

We investigated the interrelations between surface electrocardiographic changes and clinical outcomes in children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). 33 patients (19 boys, 14 girls) were classified into two groups; group I (15) who were in poor clinical status or dead; and group II (18) w...

Zusammenfassung:We investigated the interrelations between surface electrocardiographic changes and clinical outcomes in children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). 33 patients (19 boys, 14 girls) were classified into two groups; group I (15) who were in poor clinical status or dead; and group II (18) who showed good clinical status. Group I had larger LV dimensions compared to group II (Gr I vs. Gr II; LVEDD, 52 +/-11 vs. 42+/-7 (mm); LVESD, 43+/-12 vs. 30+/-5 (mm); p
