Implication

Should not yet change arrhythmia surveillance post-Mustard; hypothesis-generating for QT dispersion as a risk marker.

Structured PICO

Is late clinical arrhythmia associated with ventricular dysfunction in adults who underwent the Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries?

P
Population
51 adults (mean age 25.7 years) who underwent the Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries, evaluated at a mean of 23.4 years post-procedure.
C
Comparator
Patients who remained arrhythmia-free
O
Outcome
Clinical outcome and late onset clinical arrhythmia during follow upsurrogate

In adults who underwent the Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries, late clinical arrhythmia is strongly associated with impaired systemic right ventricular function and increased QT dispersion.
