Diagnostic Accuracy of the Standing Test in Adults Suspected for Congenital Long-QT Syndrome. [PDF]
J Am Heart Assoc, 2023 Background An elegant bedside provocation test has been shown to aid the diagnosis of long‐QT syndrome (LQTS) in a retrospective cohort by evaluation of QT intervals and T‐wave morphology changes resulting from the brief tachycardia provoked by standing.

QT Adaptation and Intrinsic QT Variability in Congenital Long QT Syndrome [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015 Background Increased variability of QT interval (QTV) has been linked to arrhythmias in animal experiments and multiple clinical situations. Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), a pure repolarization disease, may provide important information on the ...

Congenital Long QT Syndrome in Children and Adolescents: A General Overview. [PDF]
Children (Basel)Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) represents a disorder of myocardial repolarization characterized by a prolongation of QTc interval on ECG, which can degenerate into fast polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. The typical symptoms of LQTS are syncope and
