Background Electromechanical dyssynchrony is a well described comorbidity in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). ECG‐derived measurements reflective of diastolic dysfunction and electromechanical imaging markers are yet to be investigated. In this study we investigated the ECG‐ derived marker of repolarization dispersion, interval between the peak and end of T wave (TpTe), in pediatric patients with PAH and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Methods and Results We measured TpTe from a standard 12‐lead ECG and in 30 children with PAH and matched control subjects. All participants underwent same‐day echocardiography and myocardial strain analysis to calculate the diastolic electromechanical discoordination marker diastolic relaxation fraction. When compared with control subjects, patients with PAH had increased TpTe (93±15 versus 81±12 ms, P=0.001) and elevated diastolic relaxation fraction (0.33±0.10 versus 0.27±0.03, P=0.001). Patients with PAH with LV diastolic dysfunction had significantly increased TpTe when compared with patients with PAH without diastolic dysfunction (P=0.012) and when compared with control group (P |
