BACKGROUND: Tpeak-Tend interval (TpTe), a measurement of transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR), has been shown to predict ventricular tachyarrhythmia in cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) patients. However, the ability of TpTe to predict ventricular tachyarrhythmia and mortality for heart failure patients with a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is not clear. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive ability of TpTe in heart failure patients with ICD. METHODS AND RESULTS: We enrolled 318 heart failure patients treated after ICD. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to their post-implantation TpTe values and were evaluated every 6 months. The primary endpoint was appropriate ICD therapy. The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. During long-term follow-up, the TpTeâ>â110âms group (nâ=â111) experienced more VT/VF episodes (45%) and all-cause mortality (25.2%) than the TpTe 90-110âms group (nâ=â109) (26.4%, 14.5%) and TpTeâ<â90âms group (nâ=â98) (11.3%, 11.3%) (overall Pâ<â.05, respectively). In Cox regression, longer post-implantation TpTe was associated with an increased number of VT/VF episodes [HR: 1.017; 95% CI: 1.008-1.026; Pâ<â.001], all-cause mortality [HR: 1.015; 95% CI: 1.004-1.027; Pâ=â.010] and the combined endpoint [HR: 1.018; 95%CI: 1.010-1.026; Pâ<â.001]. CONCLUSIONS: Post-implantation TpTe was an independent predictor of both ventricular arrhythmias and all-cause mortality in heart failure patients with an implanted ICD.
