OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that neonatal long QT syndrome (LQTS) with 2:1 atrioventricular block (AVB) could be related to HERG mutations. BACKGROUND Early onset of LQTS is rare but carries a high risk of life-threatening events such as ventricular arrhythmias and conduction disorders. There are no data on possible gene specificity. METHODS We analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of 23 neo...
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 کاملLong QT Syndrome
Background. Erythromycin is known to prolong ventricular repolarization and has been associated with the occurrence of torsades de pointes. In this study, we have investigated potential mechanisms in vivo and in vitro for induction of an acquired long QT syndrome by erythromycin. Methods and Results. Ventricular electrograms and endocardial monophasic action potentials were recorded in anesthet...
متن کاملThe Long QT Syndrome
Introduction The Long QT syndrome (LQTS) can be inherited or acquired and is of particular interest and concern at present. Patients with LQTS are predisposed to the ventricular tachyarrhythmia torsade de pointes (TdP) which causes syncope and sudden death. Inherited LQTS is the prototype of the "primary cardiac arrhythmias" or "cardiac ion channelopathies". The study of inherited LQTS has prov...
