Are children with protein-losing enteropathy after the Fontan operation at increased risk of cytomegalovirus enteropathy? A report of two cases.

abstract：:We describe the case of a 17-year-old male soccer player with T-wave inversion in precordial leads in resting electrocardiography, which also disclosed sinus bradycardia, early repolarization, and increased QRS voltage. These findings strongly suggested cardiomyopathy. The patient's T-wave inversion disappeared during...
