Management of Patients with Long QT Syndrome
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare cardiac channelopathy associated with syncope and sudden death due to torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation. Syncope and sudden death are frequently associated with physical and emotional stress. Management of patients with LQTS consists of life-style modification, β-blockers, left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD), and implantable cardioverter-...
متن کاملManagement of patients with long QT syndrome
I have read with great interest the case report entitled “Epicardially placed implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for a child with congenital long QT syndrome” by Sugiyama et al. in the latest issue of the journal [1]. The authors well presented a case of long QT syndrome managed using implantation of an epicardial shock electrode and dose titration of beta-blocker therapy. However, some imp...
متن کاملKCNE1 and KCNE2 variants in Patients with Long QT Syndrome
Introduction: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a type of ventricular arrhythmia characterized by prolonged QT intervals on electrocardiogram or delay in ventricular repolarization and it can lead to syncope, seizure and sudden cardiac death. Here, KCNE1 and KCNE2 variants are studied among Iranian affected families with this syndrome. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients referring to Rajaei Cardiov...
متن کاملEvaluation and Management of Athletes With Long QT Syndrome
CONTEXT The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited channelopathy known for its electrocardiographic manifestations of QT prolongation and its hallmark arrhythmia, torsades de pointes (TdP). TdP can lead to syncope or sudden death and is often precipitated by triggers such as physical exertion or emotional stress. Given that athletes may be at particular risk for adverse outcomes, th...
متن کاملFindings in Normal Patients and Patients With Long QT Syndrome
Background. The interval from the R wave to the maximum amplitude of the T wave (RTm) contains the heart rate dependency of ventricular repolarization. Methods and Results. A computer algorithm was developed to quantify the RTm and preceding RR intervals for each of more than 50,000 beats on 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic (Holter) recordings to evaluate the dynamic relation between rep...
