Overview
An ECG may be very helpful in the diagnosis of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome. Findings on an ECG diagnostic of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome include a long QTc (LQT) interval, U waves, wide T-U junction and T-waves.
Electrocardiogram
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome. Findings on an ECG diagnostic of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome include:[1]
- A long QTc (LQT) interval
- T-U patterns which are very characteristic to the syndrome[2]
- Prominent U-wave enlargement which are biphasic in limb leads
- A wide T-U junction
- Prolonged terminal T-wave
- Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) especially at "rest" in Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) patients
- PVC's at rest helps in differentiating ATS from catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)
- Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) which is called bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BiVT)[3][4]
- PMVT is defined as when the beats are more than 100/min with variation in QRS axis.
- In ATS when the patient deteriorates we can see VF which can lead to sudden death
