Cardiac Electrophysiology Review, 1997
Many important advances have been made in the last several years regarding the molecular genetics and physiology of the congenital long QT syndrome. These findings have significantly changed our perceptions of the clinical manifestations of this disorder, and added new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Seizures and the Long-QT Syndrome
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1996We describe a case of idiopathic long-QT syndrome in a 4-year-old Hispanic girl. She had been seen previously at an outside hospital for possible new-onset seizure disorder but was brought to our emergency department after sustaining an unwitnessed fall. Her ECG was significant for changes consistent with long-QT syndrome.

Management of long QT syndrome
Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine, 2005Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic disorder characterized by prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram and by life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, occurring especially during conditions of increased sympathetic activity. Existing therapies are very effective, but mortality is high among untreated, symptomatic individuals ...

The beginnings of long QT syndrome
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2015The purpose of this study is to update the perinatal cardiologist and obstetrical care provider on the presentation and management of the fetus with long QT syndrome (LQTS).LQTS is a known cause of sudden death in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood that presents during fetal life, but is often not recognized.

Domperidone and Long QT Syndrome
Current Drug Safety, 2010Domperidone is a prokinetic agent widely prescribed in adults and children with gastrointestinal disorders. Recently several Regulatory Agencies published safety information on the risk of long QT syndrome associated with the use of domperidone.

In the past decade molecular genetic analysis has greatly expanded our knowledge about inherited arrhythmogenic syndromes. The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) and the recently described short QT syndrome (SQTS), with the defining characteristic of abnormal prolongation or shortening of the QTc interval on the surface electrocardiogram, are caused by

The QT syndromes: long and short
The Lancet, 2008This Seminar presents the most recent information about the congenital long and short QT syndromes, emphasising the varied genotype-phenotype association in the ten different long QT syndromes and the five different short QT syndromes. Although uncommon, these syndromes serve as a Rosetta stone for the understanding of inherited ion-channel disorders ...

The congenital long QT syndrome
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002The long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder of the electrical system of the heart, due to dysfunction of the ion channels and involving the repolarisation process. The inherited form occurs when there is a mutation in one of the genes which encode the making of a channel.

The long and short QT syndromes are genetically transmitted arrhythmogenic diseases characterized by an abnormal QTc on the basal ECG and by an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. While in the long QT syndrome well-established diagnostic criteria are available as well as effective treatments, in the short QT syndrome, much less is known in ...

Genetics of the Long QT Syndrome
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1994Long QT Syndrome. The application of molecular biology to human genetics has led to the development of a new field, human molecular genetics. This field has already had a dramatic impact on our understanding of cardiovascular disease and has helped improve diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
