Long QT syndrome – Bench to bedside

open access: yesHeart Rhythm O2, 2021
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by an abnormality in cardiac repolarization leading to a prolonged QT interval and T-wave irregularities on the surface electrocardiogram. It is commonly associated with syncope, seizures,

Shortening of the Short Refractory Periods in Short QT Syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of short QT syndrome (SQTS) remains difficult in case of borderline QT values as often found in normal populations. Whether some shortening of refractory periods (RP) may help in differentiating SQTS from normal subjects is unknown.

Transient Long QT Development in a Patient with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2016
QT interval prolongation on the electrocardiogram is considered a precursory sign for imminent, potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. Beside the inherited condition of long QT syndrome, numerous drugs, certain electrolyte disturbances and early ...

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Resuscitation of sudden cardiac death caused by acute epileptic seizures: A case report

open access: yesJournal of Acute Disease, 2016
Symptomatic long QT syndrome in pediatric patients is a life-threatening condition. Sometimes, this pathology can be misdiagnosed and erroneously managed as generalized epilepsy due to similar clinical manifestations.

Long QT in stunned myocardium: unrecognised cause of acquired long QT syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Medical Science, 2014
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heart disorder characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on ECG and a predisposition to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death. This condition may be inherited

The role of M cells and the long QT syndrome in cardiac arrhythmias: simulation studies of reentrant excitations using a detailed electrophysiological model

open access: yes, 2004
In this numerical study, we investigate the role of intrinsic heterogeneities of cardiac tissue due to M cells in the generation and maintenance of reentrant excitations using the detailed Luo-Rudy dynamic model. This model has been extended to include a

The Long QT Syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 1998
Major progress has taken place, and at a very rapid pace, in the understanding of the congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). This has been the direct consequence of the identification of several of the genes responsible for LQTS and of the studies that have followed, at both basic and clinical levels.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome: report of 3 novel mutations and high risk of symptomatic cardiac involvement. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
IntroductionAndersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a potassium channelopathy affecting cardiac and skeletal muscle. Periodic paralysis is a presenting symptom in some patients, whereas, in others, symptomatic arrhythmias or prolongation of QT in ...
