Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008 The hereditary long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic channelopathy with variable penetrance that is associated with increased propensity to syncope, polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsades de pointes), and sudden arrhythmic death. This inherited cardiac disorder constitutes an important cause of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden ...

Circulation, 2014 A 34-year-old female who is 4 months postpartum presents after a nocturnal seizure. She was awakened at night by an alarm clock to feed her baby, spoke briefly with her husband, and suddenly lost consciousness, appearing to have epileptic-type movements before spontaneously recovering.

Europace, 2001 The Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited arrhythmogenic disease occurring in the structurally normal heart that may cause sudden death and that usually manifests in children and teen-agers (1). The prevalence of this disorder is still undefined, however it is estimated to be between 1:10000–1:5000.

Congenital long QT syndrome [PDF]
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2008 Abstract Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary cardiac disease characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval at basal ECG and by a high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Disease prevalence is estimated at close to 1 in 2,500 live births.

Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]
, 2020 Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...
