Acquired Genotype-Positive Long QT Syndrome After Pediatric Heart Transplantation. [PDF]
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is rare but significant, as it carries a risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Its diagnosis can be made clinically by serial ECGs, ambulatory ECG monitoring, and exercise stress testing; however ...

Sodium leak through K2P potassium channels and cardiac arrhythmia, an emerging theme. [PDF]
In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Decher et al (2017) identify a point mutation in the K2P2 (TREK‐1) potassium (K+) channel that changes function in just those ways expected to predispose to right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricular

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges
Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Oxytocin exerts harmful cardiac repolarization prolonging effects in drug-induced LQTS
Background: Oxytocin is used therapeutically in psychiatric patients. Many of these also receive anti-depressant or anti-psychotic drugs causing acquired long-QT-syndrome (LQTS) by blocking HERG/IKr.
