📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: A breath-holding spell (BHS) is a clinical feature frequently seen in infancy and early childhood and generally bringing children to pediatric cardiology outpatient clinics with the suspicion of cardiac disease.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In this study, P wave dispersion (PWD), which is a marker of regional differences in atrial depolarization in electrocardiography and has been demonstrated to be beneficial in defining the risk of supraventricular tachycardia in various patient groups, was studied in children who presented with breath-holding spells.Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients with breath-holding spells and 36 healthy children as a control group were included in this study.

Abstract

Objective: A breath-holding spell (BHS) is a clinical feature frequently seen in infancy and early childhood and generally bringing children to pediatric cardiology outpatient clinics with the suspicion of cardiac disease. In this study, P wave dispersion (PWD), which is a marker of regional differences in atrial depolarization in electrocardiography and has been demonstrated to be beneficial in defining the risk of supraventricular tachycardia in various patient groups, was studied in children who presented with breath-holding spells.Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients with breath-holding spells and 36 healthy children as a control group were included in this study. We performed electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography on patients and controls. PWD, which is defined as the difference between maximum and minimum p wave duration, was also calculated. Statistical analysis in the study was performed using SPSS version 22.0 and p

Özet

Amaç: Soluk-tutma nöbetleri sıklıkla süt çocukluğu ve erken çocukluk çağında görülen ve kalp hastalığı şüphesiyle çocuk kardiyoloji kliniklerine çocukların götürüldüğü klinik bir tablodur. Bu çalışmada elektrokardiyografide (EKG) atriyal depolarizasyona ait bölgesel farklılıkların bir göstergesi olan ve çeşitli hasta gruplarında supraventriküler taşikardi riskini belirlemede yararlı olduğu kanıtlanmış olan p dalga dispersiyonu soluk tutma nöbeti ile başvurmuş çocuklarda çalışılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya hasta grubu olarak 47 soluk-tutma nöbetli ve kontrol olarak da 36 sağlıklı çocuk alınmıştır. Her 2 gruba EKG ve ekokardiyografi yapılmıştır. P dalga dispersiyonu, maksimum ve minimum p dalga süreleri arasındaki fark olarak hesaplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmış olup p
