T-wave alternans (TWA), a phenomenon of beat-to-beat variability in the repolarization phase of the ventricles, has been closely associated with an increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmic events (VTE) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) %K Long QT syndrome %K sudden cardiac death %K t-wave alternans %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5963243/
