Why the study?
Despite treatment, familial Mediterranean fever exhibits subclinical persistent inflammation, and its cardiac effects and arrhythmia predisposition in children require investigation.
Do pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever have an increased predisposition towards cardiac arrhythmias compared to healthy controls?
Do pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever have an increased predisposition towards cardiac arrhythmias compared to healthy controls?
Pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever exhibit prolonged QT and Tp-e intervals, suggesting an increased susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias, particularly in those with moderate-severe disease.
May signal higher ventricular arrhythmia risk in pediatric FMF; leaves open need for prospective ECG monitoring studies.
