An open‐label, single‐arm, dose‐escalating concentration–QT study to investigate the cardiac effects and safety of paroxetine in healthy adults

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1385-1396, May 2026.
Abstract Aims Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), approved for treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Some SSRIs are known to prolong the QT interval; however, clinical evidence to establish a lack of association between paroxetine and corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation is limited. Therefore, this

Diagnostic Miscues in Congenital Long-QT Syndrome [PDF]

Circulation, 2007
Background— Long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially lethal cardiac channelopathy that can be mistaken for palpitations, neurocardiogenic syncope, and epilepsy. Because of increased physician and public awareness of warning signs suggestive of LQTS, there is the potential for LQTS to be overdiagnosed.

Epicardially placed implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for a child with congenital long QT syndrome

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
A 7-year-old boy presented at our hospital with syncope. At birth, electrocardiography had shown a long QT interval with torsade de pointes (TdP). Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) had been diagnosed by genetic testing, and was successfully controlled ...

Yield of Whole Genome Sequencing for Pathogenic Single Nucleotide Variants in Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 780-818, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic yield of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using whole genome sequencing (WGS) in congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A systematic search of three databases (2000–2024) was conducted, and two reviewers independently ...
