Left cardiac sympathetic denervation in the therapy of congenital long QT syndrome. A worldwide report.
BACKGROUND Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a congenital disorder accompanied by a high incidence of sudden cardiac death. beta-Adrenergic blockade is the therapy of choice, and it is successful in 75-80% of patients. For those in whom cardiac events (syncope or cardiac arrest) are not prevented by beta-blockade, experimental studies suggest that left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) may be use...
متن کاملLeft cardiac sympathetic denervation in long QT syndrome: analysis of therapeutic nonresponders.
BACKGROUND Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially lethal but highly treatable cardiac channelopathy. Treatment options include pharmacotherapy, device therapy, and left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD). Here, we sought to determine the characteristics of LQTS patients who have had ≥1 LQTS-related breakthrough cardiac event (BCE) after LCSD. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed retrospecti...
متن کاملLeft cardiac sympathetic denervation in the management of high-risk patients affected by the long-QT syndrome.
BACKGROUND The management of long-QT syndrome (LQTS) patients who continue to have cardiac events (CEs) despite beta-blockers is complex. We assessed the long-term efficacy of left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) in a group of high-risk patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 147 LQTS patients who underwent LCSD. Their QT interval was very prolonged (QTc, 543+/-65 ms); 99% were sym...
متن کاملPhysical and Psychological Consequences of Left Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation in Long-QT Syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Left cardiac sympathetic denervation reduces risk in long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Side effects and patient satisfaction have not been systematically analyzed in patients who underwent left cardiac sympathetic denervation. Aims of this study included documenting physical and psychological consequences and patient satisfaction after...
متن کاملVideoscopic left cardiac sympathetic denervation for patients with recurrent ventricular fibrillation/malignant ventricular arrhythmia syndromes besides congenital long-QT syndrome.
BACKGROUND Treatment options for patients with recurrent ventricular arrhythmias refractory to pharmacotherapy and ablation are minimal. Although left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) is well established in long-QT syndrome, its role in non-long-QT syndrome arrhythmogenic channelopathies and cardiomyopathies is less clear. Here, we report our single-center experience in performing LCSD in...
