Tpeak-Tend is Alive and Well

We have read the letter to the editor submitted by Huikuri and co-worker in response to our counterpoint and are pleased to see that the authors ’ views have moderated considerably such that the issue of Tpeak-Tend as a marker of risk is no longer “dead” but has transitioned to one whose usefulness is subject to challenges including precise measurement, selection of lead(s), and appropriate heart rate correction, issues that apply to a ll interval-based arrhythmia risk markers. We wholeheartedly agree that additional research is needed to further define the utility of these parameters.
