Long QT syndrome and anaesthesia [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Anaesthesia, 2003
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an arrhythmogenic cardiovascular disorder resulting from mutations in cardiac ion channels. LQTS is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and frequently manifests itself as QT interval prolongation on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The age at presentation varies from in utero to adulthood.
