To evaluate the possible association between Tpeak-Tend (Tp-e) interval in surface standard ECG and cardiac events in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS).Tp-e interval in surface standard ECG was compared between BrS patients (n = 23, all males) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) patients (n = 20, all males) as well as between BrS patients with (n = 16) or without (n = 7) cardiac events.There was significant difference in Tp-e interval between BrS patients and PSVT patients [(109.57 +/- 22.86) ms vs. (88.50 +/- 13.08) ms, P 0.05).The prolongation of Tp-e (> or = 120 ms) was associated with higher cardiac events in BrS patients.
