KCNE1 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 کاملManagement 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 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...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic testing in patients with the long QT syndrome.
Electrophysiologic studies were performed in 15 patients with syncope and/or cardiac arrest who had the long QT syndrome and 11 control subjects who had normal QT intervals. The syndrome was familial in five patients and idiopathic in 10. All patients had a prolonged QT (546 +/- 68 msec, mean +/- SD) and corrected QT (550 +/- 51 msec). Incremental atrial pacing at cycle lengths of 600 to 400 ms...
