Abstract

Methods: Twenty-three patients diagnosed with IVNC by echocardiography and cardiac MRI between January 2006 and June 2010 were enrolled in this study. The patients were examined with standard ECG and 24-hour Holter ECG. For comparison purpose, ECGs of 50 healthy children of similar ages and demographic characteristics were taken.
