Gap junctional and ephaptic coupling in cardiac electrical propagation: homocellular and heterocellular perspectives

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intricate cellular electrical coupling networks in the heart. Various cell types couple the central cardiomyocyte through gap junctional contacts, with the exception of neurons. Whether ephaptic coupling (EpC) occurs in homocellular or heterocellular contexts beyond cardiomyocyte–cardiomyocyte interactions remains unclear ...

Epilepsy in patients with long QT syndrome type 1: A Norwegian family

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2018
The congenital long QT syndrome (cLQTS) is an inherited cardiac disorder and is associated with sudden cardiac death. We describe a Norwegian family with mutations within the KCNQ1 gene causing cLQTS type 1 (LQT1) and epilepsy.

High‐Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T in Healthy Sport‐Participating Youth Aged 8–16 Years: Reference Values From the Cor‐School Cohort

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives High‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) is widely used in adult cardiology, yet pediatric reference values remain scarce. This study aimed to establish reference values for hs‐cTnT in healthy sport‐participating youth aged 8–16 years from Spain; to examine differences by age, sex, and pubertal stage; and to explore ...

Congenital Long QT Syndrome:

Anesthesia eJournal
Context: Congenital long QT syndrome (cLQTS) is the most common genetic cardiac ion channelopathy in the US. Patients with cLQTS are at risk for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the “torsades de pointes” (TdP) pattern from physical and emotional stress ...

Association of Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Congenital Long QT Syndrome With Life-Threatening Arrhythmias in Japanese Patients

JAMA cardiology, 2019
Importance Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is caused by several ion channel genes, yet risk of arrhythmic events is not determined solely by the responsible gene pathogenic variants.

Cardiovascular genetic counselor decision making about discussing life insurance with patients

Journal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 34, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Genetic counselors (GCs) educate patients about the benefits, risks, and limitations of genetic testing. The regulatory environment governing the use of genetic data in life insurance is not uniform internationally or within the United States (US).

Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia in a Long QT Syndrome Child Successfully Controlled by Left Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2012
Long QT syndrome is a congenital disorder accompanied by a high incidence of sudden cardiac death. β-adrenergic blockade is the therapy of choice, and it is successful in 75–80% of patients.
