Congenital Short QT Syndrome [PDF]
Long QT intervals in the ECG have long been associated with sudden cardiac death. The congenital long QT syndrome was first described in individuals with structurally normal hearts in 1957.1 Little was known about the significance of a short QT interval.

Genetic Aspects of Hereditary Arrhythmogenic Syndromes in Children and Adults
Recent research has revealed the genetic etiology of a number of heart diseases that cause sudden cardiac death. Lethal channelopathies are of great importance among the genetically determined heart diseases. Their basic characteristics are unpredictable

Malignant ventricular arrhythmias induction by programmed electrical stimulation of the right ventricular outflow tract only during type 1 brugada ECG maximization [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The role of electrophysiology study in Brugada syndrome (BS) sudden cardiac death risk stratification remains controversial and seems to depend on the phenotypic expression of the channelopathy.
