Key result
There was no significant positive correlation between T-wave alternans magnitude and the corresponding T-wave amplitude prior to the emergence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

This response discusses the lack of a significant positive correlation between T-wave alternans magnitude and T-wave amplitude before ventricular tachyarrhythmias in acute coronary syndrome patients.
I would like to thank Dr Takasugi and his co-authors for their response to my inquiry regarding a possible relationship between T-wave alternans (TWA) magnitude (TWAM) and the corresponding T-wave amplitude prior to the emergence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) in patients undergoing acute coronary interventions, reported in their recent article in the Journal.1 They did not find a ‘significant positive correlation between TWAM and the corresponding T-wave …

John E. Madias (2011) conducted a letter in Acute coronary syndrome. T-wave alternans magnitude and T-wave amplitude was evaluated on Correlation between T-wave alternans magnitude and corresponding T-wave amplitude. There was no significant positive correlation between T-wave alternans magnitude and the corresponding T-wave amplitude prior to the emergence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
