Long-QT-Syndrom

open access: yesPraxis, 2010
#### Case scenario A 19 year old female student consulted her general practitioner about two recent episodes of syncope, both of which occurred while playing hockey. Her team mates reported that she collapsed suddenly with little warning, recovering rapidly within 30 seconds without confusion.

Drug-induced Fatal Arrhythmias: Acquired long QT and Brugada Syndromes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Since the early 1990s, the concept of primary “inherited” arrhythmia syndromes or ion channelopathies has evolved rapidly as a result of revolutionary progresses made in molecular genetics.

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially ...

Postpartum QT Prolongation in a Long QT Syndrome Type 1 Patient. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Noninvasive Electrocardiol
We present the case of an LQT1 patient with a previous cardiac event during the postpartum period. Performance of electrocardiograms and Estradiol as well as Progesterone levels revealed prolonged QT intervals postpartum correlating to declining sex hormone levels elevate the risk for arrhythmic events in this period.

QT correction using Bazett’s formula remains preferable in long QT syndrome type 1 and 2

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2020
The heart rate (HR) corrected QT interval (QTc) is crucial for diagnosis and risk stratification in the long QT syndrome (LQTS). Although its use has been questioned in some contexts, Bazett's formula has been applied in most diagnostic and prognostic ...

Long QT interval in resting electrocardiogram– and what next? Sports cardiologist’s point ofview Part 2. From provocative tests to prevention of cardiac events

open access: yesPediatria i Medycyna Rodzinna, 2014
Resting electrocardiogram is a basic diagnostic tool used to identify myocardial diseases caused by a genetic defect of ion channels that results in bioelectric instability of cardiomyocytes and the risk of a complex induction of life-threatening ...

Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem-cell models for long-QT syndrome.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2010
BACKGROUND Long-QT syndromes are heritable diseases associated with prolongation of the QT interval on an electrocardiogram and a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia.

Outcome by Sex in Patients With Long QT Syndrome With an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Sex differences in outcome have been reported in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. We aimed to report on the incidence of time‐dependent life‐threatening events in male and female patients with long QT syndrome with an implantable ...

Long QT interval in Turner syndrome--a high prevalence of LQTS gene mutations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
QT-interval prolongation of unknown aetiology is common in Turner syndrome. This study set out to explore the presence of known long QT mutations in Turner syndrome and to examine the corrected QT-interval (QTc) over time and relate the findings to the ...
