Mechanisms, Risk Factors, and Management of Acquired Long QT Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 Long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval on the surface electrocardiogram and is associated with precipitation of torsade de pointes (TdP), a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that may cause sudden death ...

Acquired Long QT Syndrome and Electrophysiology of Torsade de Pointes [PDF]
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2019 Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) has been the most investigated cardiac ion channelopathy. Although congenital LQTS remains the domain of cardiologists, cardiac electrophysiologists and specialised centres, the much more frequently acquired LQTS is the domain of physicians and other members of healthcare teams required to make therapeutic decisions ...

In Vitro and In Silico Risk Assessment in Acquired Long QT Syndrome: The Devil Is in the Details [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Acquired long QT syndrome, mostly as a result of drug block of the Kv11. 1 potassium channel in the heart, is characterized by delayed cardiac myocyte repolarization, prolongation of the T interval on the ECG, syncope and sudden cardiac death due to the ...

Acquired Long QT Syndrome and Torsades de Pointes after Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery
Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2021 Acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) can occur in up to one third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is often undisclosed. We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient admitted to our center for mitral valve replacement surgery, and, during the ...

The anti-aging factor Klotho protects against acquired long QT syndrome induced by uremia and promoted by fibroblast growth factor 23 [PDF]
BMC Medicine, 2022 Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased propensity for arrhythmias. In this context, ventricular repolarization alterations have been shown to predispose to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
