Update on long QT syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2019 AbstractLong QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval in the 12‐lead electrocardiogram and increased risk of malignant arrhythmias in patients with a structurally normal heart. Since its first description in the 1950s, advances in molecular genetics have greatly improved our understanding of the cause and ...

Žurnal Grodnenskogo Gosudarstvennogo Medicinskogo Universiteta, 2018 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening channelopathy, accompanied by a prolonged QT interval on a 12-channel ECG, syncopal conditions and a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to the development of torsade de pointes (TdP ...

Long QT syndrome – Bench to bedside
Heart 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,

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

Transient Long QT Development in a Patient with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Journal 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 ...

A study of early afterdepolarizations in a model for human ventricular tissue [PDF]
, 2014 Sudden cardiac death is often caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Recently, special attention has been given to a certain arrhythmogenic condition, the long-QT syndrome, which occurs as a result of genetic mutations or drug toxicity. The underlying mechanisms

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

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