| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We assessed the utility of clinical application of magnetocardiography (MCG) in assessment of risk of sudden cardiac death in children with early repolarization (J wave) in electrocardiogram. We analyzed 7,540 electrocardiograms of healthy children obtained in school screening. J wave was observed in 12.8% of boys in the seventh grade. We analyzed 91 MCG records of J wave syndrome. Using current vector arrow map of MCG, we could identify the characteristic abnormal current in Brugada syndrome cases. We could visualize current arrow of J wave in three dimensions, however there was no consistent current vector pattern in other J wave syndrome cases. In this study, we failed to show the utility of MCG in assessment of risk of sudden cardiac death. However, MCG analysis using current vector arrow map may be helpful in assessment of electrophysiological property of J wave.
