OP-087 Mid-Term Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Functions in Children with Transposition of the Great Arteries After Arterial Switch Operation




Objective


It has been documented that impaired HRV is related to life threatening arrhythmias in children with surgically repaired congenital heart disease. We aimed to analyze the balance of the cardiac autonomic functions by assessing HRV in children with arterial switch operation (ASO).




Methods


In this observational cohort study, heart rate variability analysis using 24-h Holter electrocardiography recordings was examined in 22 patients (mean age: 59.5 ± 38.7 months, 18 male, 4 female) who had undergone ASO during the newborn period and 22 healthy children (mean age: 65.1 ± 39.4 months, 18 male, 4 female). After Kolmogorov-Smirnov testing for normality, Student t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used when appropriate. Chi square was used for categorical data.
