dc.description.abstractObjectives: Renal transplant recipients are at risk for ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death. To assess that risk, we compared the ventricular repolarization markers of pediatric renal transplant recipients with those of healthy children. Materials and Methods: We included 30 children and adolescents who were followed for at least 6 months after renal transplant; 30 age- and sex-matched children were included for the control group. Demographic features, medications, and laboratory findings were recorded. Blood pressure measurements, ventricular repolarization indexes including QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion, T-wave peak-to-end interval dispersion, the T-wave peak-to-end interval/QT ratio, the T-wave peak-to-end interval/corrected QT ratio, left ventricular mass index, and relative wall thickness were compared between groups. In addition, the correlations of ventricular repolarization indexes with other variables were evaluated. Results: Blood pressure standard deviation scores, the mean heart rate, QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion, the T-wave peak-to-end interval/QT ratio, the T-wave peak-to-end interval/corrected QT ratio, left ventricular mass index, and relative wall thickness values were significantly higher in renal transplant patients, whereas T-wave peak-to-end interval dispersion, ejection fraction, and fractional shortening were similar between groups. Although ventricular repolarization indexes were similar in patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy, only corrected QT dispersion was significantly higher in patients with hypertension (P = .006). The only variable that significantly predicted prolonged corrected QT dispersion was the systolic blood pressure standard deviation score (P = .005, beta = .403). Conclusions: Ventricular repolarization anomalies, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and cardiac geometry irregularity may be observed after renal transplant in pediatric recipients despite acceptable allograft functions and normal serum electrolyte levels. Control of systolic blood pressure would decrease the risk of ventricular repolarization abnormalities, namely, the corrected QT dispersion. Follow-up of cardiovascular risks with noninvasive methods is recommended in all pediatric renal transplant recipients.
