Outcome by Sex in Patients With Long QT Syndrome With an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Sex differences in outcome have been reported in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. We aimed to report on the incidence of time‐dependent life‐threatening events in male and female patients with long QT syndrome with an implantable ...

Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline for CYP2D6 Genotype and Use of 5‐HT3 Receptor Antagonists: 2026 Update

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
5‐hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5‐HT3) receptor antagonists are used to treat nausea and vomiting and in the prevention of chemotherapy‐induced, radiation‐induced, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Most of the 5‐HT3 receptor antagonists (i.e., ondansetron, tropisetron, dolasetron, palonosetron, and ramosetron) are metabolized by CYP2D6, but the extent

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

open access: yesEuropace, 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 ...

KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

A rare association of long QT syndrome, syndactyly and atrial septal defect (timothy syndrome) – Case report and literature review

open access: yesIHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2017
Timothy syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an abnormally prolonged cardiac “repolarization” time (long QT interval). This predisposes individuals to arrhythmias, cardiac arrest and sudden death.

Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models

open access: yesPediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

International Guideline on the Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Patients With Hereditary Angioedema

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable episodes of tissue swelling (angioedema), which, in most cases, occur first under the age of 18 years, and entail a significant burden of disease not only for the patients but also for their families.

Drug-Induced QT Prolongation as a Result of an Escitalopram Overdose in a Patient with Previously Undiagnosed Congenital Long QT Syndrome

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2014
We present a case of drug-induced QT prolongation caused by an escitalopram overdose in a patient with previously undiagnosed congenital LQTS. A 15-year-old Caucasian female presented following a suicide attempt via an escitalopram overdose.
