Abstract:The aim of this study was to investigate whether cisapride significantly increases corrected QT (QTc) intervals on resting 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) in children on peritoneal dialysis. Medical records of children who were treated with chronic peritoneal dialysis and who had ECGs while off and on cisapride were obtained and reviewed. QTc on all 12-lead ECGs and past medical history were analyzed by two blinded pediatric cardiologists. A total of 79 ECGs (68 off/11 on cisapride) for 11 children on perito… Show more
