Table 1 Type of false tendon and altered ventricular repolarization
| Anatomic site of false tendon | N° (%) | Altered ventricular repolarization N° (%) |
| Middle segment inferior septum - lateral wall | 11 (52.38) | 7 (63.6%) |
| Distal segment inferior septum - lateral wall | 4 (19.06) | 2 (50%) |
| Middle segment posterior wall - anterior septum | 1 (4.76) | 0 (0%) |
| Middle segment inferior wall - anterior wall | 5 (23.8) | 2 (40%) |
| Description of altered ventricular repolarization | Frequency | % |
| Flat T wave in DII, aVF, inverted T wave in DIII | 10 | 47.6 |
| Biphasic T wave in DII, DIII and aVF after incremental max exercise test | 1 | 4.8 |
| Biphasic T wave in V2 and V3, normalize after incremental max exercise test | 1 | 4.8 |
| Inverted T wave from V1 to V3 normalizes after incremental max exercise test | 6 | 28.6 |
| Inverted asymmetric T wave from V1 to V3 normalizes after incremental max exercise test | 1 | 4.8 |
| Inverted symmetric T wave from V1 to V3, that reduces but does not normalize after incremental max exercise test | 1 | 4.8 |
| Flat T wave in DIII and inverted from V1 to V3 normalizes after incremental max exercise test | 1 | 4.8 |
