Congenital long QT syndrome [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2008
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary cardiac disease characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval at basal ECG and by a high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Disease prevalence is estimated at close to 1 in 2,500 live births. The

Clinical Advances in Congenital Long QT Syndrome

Cardiology Discovery, 2021
. Long QT syndrome is an inherited arrhythmia characterized by a prolonged QT interval and increased risk of life-threatening cardiac events, including arrhythmogenic syncope, seizures, and sudden cardiac death with a structurally normal heart. Since its

Prevalence of the Congenital Long-QT Syndrome [PDF]

Circulation, 2009
Background— The prevalence of genetic arrhythmogenic diseases is unknown. For the long-QT syndrome (LQTS), figures ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:5000 were published, but none was based on actual data. Our objective was to define the prevalence of LQTS.

Congenital Long and Short QT Syndromes [PDF]

Cardiology, 2012
Congenital long and short QT syndromes are familial arrhythmias characterized by derangement of repolarization and a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. With growing understanding of these syndromes in both the medical and lay communities, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties are increasingly faced by health care ...

Congenital and acquired long QT syndrome [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2000
There is considerable contemporary interest in ventricular repolarization, since prolonged repolarization, especially when heterogeneous, is associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, syncope and sudden death. Delayed ventricular repolarization occurs as a congenital anomaly or may be acquired, for example because of the effect of medications on ...
