Revealing the Concealed Nature of Long-QT Type 3 Syndrome.
BACKGROUND Gain-of-function mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.5) are associated with the long-QT-3 (LQT3) syndrome. Nav1.5 is densely expressed at the intercalated disk, and narrow intercellular separation can modulate cell-to-cell coupling via extracellular electric fields and depletion of local sodium ion nanodomains. Models predict that significantly decreasing intercellula...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of screening electrocardiograms in long QT syndrome I.
OBJECTIVE Inherited long QT syndrome (LQTS) may present with syncope, seizures, and/or sudden death as a result of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Identification of family members who are at risk because they harbor the genetic substrate for LQTS is critical. Presently, such identification relies on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the...
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 کاملProvocative testing and drug response in a patient with the long QT syndrome.
A girl of 14 with the long QT syndrome (LQTS) and torsades de pointes is reported. Isoprenaline or adrenaline infusions induced torsades de pointes and inversion of the TU wave. Changes in the TU wave during isoprenaline infusion were used to select effective drugs to treat this patient. A beta blocker and calcium channel blocker were selected and the patient had no episodes of syncope for two ...
متن کاملIdentification of Concealed and Manifest Long QT Syndrome Using a Novel T Wave Analysis Program.
BACKGROUND Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by QT prolongation. However, the QT interval itself is insufficient for diagnosis, unless the corrected QT interval is repeatedly ≥500 ms without an acquired explanation. Further, the majority of LQTS patients have a corrected QT interval below this threshold, and a significant minority has normal resting corrected QT interval value...
