The resting ECG in patients with the DPP6 haplotype is normal. Also during Holter recordings and exercise tests, no abnormalities are found. However, ICD read-outs of DPP6 patients revealed that VF in these patients is elicited by very short-coupled ventricular extrasystoles from the right ventricular apex. | The resting ECG in patients with the DPP6 haplotype is normal.
