Outcome of pregnancies in patients with anti‐SSA/Ro antibodies: A study of 165 pregnancies, with special focus on electrocardiographic variations in the children and comparison with a control group

Abstract

The EKG findings in children of anti-SSA-positive and anti-SSA-negative mothers were not significantly different. Our results suggest that the prolongation of the QTc interval and sinus bradycardia that have recently been reported in children of mothers with anti-SSA antibodies occur independently of the anti-SSA antibodies. The pathologic nature of these EKG variations was not confirmed by our controlled study.
