LONG QT SYNDROME. PART 1

open access: yesŽurnal 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

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 ...

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.

Reclassification of genetic variants in children with long QT syndrome

open access: yesThe thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon, 2020
Genes encoding cardiac ion channels or regulating proteins have been associated with the inherited form of long QT syndrome (LQTS). Complex pathophysiology and missing functional studies, however, often bedevil variant interpretation and classification ...

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
