JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2022 Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) encompasses a group of heritable conditions that are associated with cardiac repolarization dysfunction. Since its initial description in 1957, our understanding of LQTS has increased dramatically. The prevalence of LQTS is estimated to be ∼1:2,000, with a slight female predominance.

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 ...
