Predictive value of Tpeak-Tend interval of supine and orthostatic electrocardiogram in the diagnosis between psychogenic pseudosyncope and vasovagal syncope in children

Abstract Tpeak-Tend interval (Tp-Te) is an indicator of transmural dispersion of repolarization, which is often related to ventricular arrhythmias. The relationship between Tp-Te and vasovagal syncope (VVS) has been reported in previous studies, but very little is known about Tp-Te in differentiatio...

description Abstract Tpeak-Tend interval (Tp-Te) is an indicator of transmural dispersion of repolarization, which is often related to ventricular arrhythmias. The relationship between Tp-Te and vasovagal syncope (VVS) has been reported in previous studies, but very little is known about Tp-Te in differentiation between psychogenic pseudosyncope (PPS) and VVS in children. We aim to discuss the predictive value of Tp-Te of supine and orthostatic electrocardiogram (ECG) in the diagnosis between PPS and VVS in children. The 31 children with PPS and 40 children with VVS from July 2014 to November 2023 were enrolled as the study group. Meanwhile, 30 healthy children who underwent a physical examination in the same hospital were selected as the control group. Tp-Te and QT interval in 12-lead supine and orthostatic ECG were measured. (1) Supine ECG: ① The Tp-Te/QT in PPS group was significantly lower than that in control group in II lead (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QTc in PPS group was significantly lower than that in control group in II and aVR lead (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Tp-Te between PPS group and control group (P > 0.05). ② The Tp-Te in VVS group was significantly higher than that in control group in aVR, aVF, and V4 lead (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QT in VVS group was significantly higher than that in control group in aVF lead (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QTc in VVS group was significantly higher than that in control group in aVL, aVF and V1 lead (P < 0.05). ③ The Tp-Te, Tp-Te/QT in PPS group were significantly lower than those in VVS group in some leads (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QTc in PPS group was significantly lower than that in VVS group in some leads. (2) Orthostatic ECG: ① The Tp-Te in PPS group was significantly higher than that in control group in V1, V2 lead (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QT, Tp-Te/QTc in PPS group were significantly higher than those in control group in V2 lead (P < 0.05). ② The Tp-Te and Tp-Te/QTc in V4 lead, Tp-Te/QT in V1, V4 lead in VVS group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). ③ The Tp-Te in PPS group was significantly lower than that in VVS group in some leads (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QT in PPS group was significantly lower than that in VVS group in some leads (P < 0.05). The Tp-Te/QTc in PPS group was significantly lower than that in VVS group in some leads. (3) The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis: Tp-Te of supine ECG and orthostatic ECG in some leads had a predictive value on diagnosis between PPS and VVS (P < 0.05). Tp-Te, Tp-Te/QT, and Tp-Te/QTc of supine and orthostatic ECG in some leads have a certain predictive value in the diagnosis between PPS and VVS in children.
