Utility of Zebrafish Models of Acquired and Inherited Long QT Syndrome

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Long-QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac electrical disorder, distinguished by irregular heart rates and sudden death. Accounting for ∼40% of cases, LQTS Type 2 (LQTS2), is caused by defects in the Kv11.1 (hERG) potassium channel that is critical for cardiac

Long QT in stunned myocardium: unrecognised cause of acquired long QT syndrome

Journal of Medical Science, 2014
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heart disorder characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on ECG and a predisposition to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death. This condition may be inherited

Acquired Long QT Syndrome and Torsade de Pointes Associated with HIV Infection [PDF]

Case Reports in Medicine, 2010
Here, we report the case of an HIV infected patient that was treated for pneumonia with a macrolid antibiotic. The patient experienced a prolongation of the already pathologic QTc interval resulting in repeated torsades de pointes necessitating CPR and ...

Acquired long QT interval syndrome as a predictor of sudden cardiac death: Causes, diagnostic criteria, and management strategy

Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council
Despite medical advances in diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Sudden cardiac death, an extreme and irreversible outcome of cardiac arrest, is observed in 50% of cases and is often the first ...

Genetics of acquired long QT syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2005
The QT interval is the electrocardiographic manifestation of ventricular repolarization, is variable under physiologic conditions, and is measurably prolonged by many drugs. Rarely, however, individuals with normal base-line intervals may display exaggerated QT interval prolongation, and the potentially fatal polymorphic ventricular tachycardia torsade

Acquired long QT syndrome: as risky as congenital long QT syndrome? [PDF]

Europace, 2011
This editorial refers to ‘Role of implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy in patients with acquired long QT syndrome: A long-term follow-up’ by G. Monnig et al ., on page 396 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) describes a group of disorders characterized by QT interval prolongation secondary to delayed cardiac repolarization that may either be genetic ...
