Fever-Induced QTc Prolongation and Ventricular Fibrillation in a Healthy Young Man [PDF]
Long QT syndrome is associated with lethal tachyarrhythmia that can lead to syncope, seizure, and sudden death. Congenital long QT syndrome is a genetic disorder, characterized by delayed cardiac repolarization and prolongation of the QT interval on the ...

Meta-analysis of T peak –T end and T peak –T end /QT ratio for risk stratification in congenital long QT syndrome [PDF]
Background and objectives: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) predisposes affected individuals to ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VF/VF), potentially resulting in sudden cardiac death.

The QT Intervals in Infancy and Time for Infantile ECG Screening for Long QT Syndrome [PDF]
Background: Electrocardiographic and molecular studies have clarified an association between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and long QT syndrome (LQTS), and few data are available for the QT interval in infancy from birth to 1 year of age ...

Transient Long QT Development in a Patient with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
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]
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

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