Sex differences in long QT syndrome
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a rare, inherited channelopathy characterized by cardiac repolarization dysfunction, leading to a prolonged rate-corrected QT interval in patients who are at risk for malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias, syncope, and even ...

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,

Measurement and interpretation of electrocardiographic QT intervals in murine hearts. [PDF]
, 2014 Alterations in ECG QT intervals correlate with the risk of potentially fatal arrhythmias, for which transgenic murine hearts are becoming increasingly useful experimental models. However, QT intervals are poorly defined in murine ECGs.

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 ...

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.

Reclassification of genetic variants in children with long QT syndrome
The 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
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.
