The importance of the epinephrine provocation test for the hidden type-1 congenital long QT syndrome
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic channelopathy associated with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. QT interval prolongation is typically the primary finding on the electrocardiography (ECG) recordings ...

Novel genes for QTc interval. How much heritability is explained, and how much is left to find?
The corrected QT (QTc) interval is a complex quantitative trait, believed to be influenced by several genetic and environmental factors. It is a strong prognostic indicator of cardiovascular mortality in patients with and without cardiac disease.

Dynamics of QT Interval in a Patient With Long QT Syndrome and a Normal QT Interval
A case report of a 15-year-old girl who experienced syncope and torsades de pointes is presented. The girl had a normal QT interval (QTc=0.37 sec) on the resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Infusion of isoproterenol induced QT prolongation (QTc=0.62 sec) and frequent occurrence of multiform ventricular premature beats. Her Holter ECG showed a prolongation

EFFECT OF ANAESTHESIA ON THE QT INTERVAL [PDF]
A prolonged electrocardiographic QT interval may be harmful during general anaesthesia. It may be prudent, therefore, to select anaesthetic agents which have the least effect on the QT interval. In a controlled study, propofol has been shown to have less effect on the QT interval than thiopentone (P less than 0.05).
