Long QT syndrome: A therapeutic challenge
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is one of the most common cardiac channelopathies and is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and life-threatening arrhythmias. The mortality is high among untreated patients. The identification of several LQTS genes has had a major impact on the management strategy for both patients and family members. An impressive genotype-phenotype correla...

The discovery of genetic defects underlying long-QT syndrome (LQTS) has allowed to identify important genotype-phenotype correlations that are now being used for risk stratification. The next challenge is to exploit the new information on the pathophysiology of the disease derived from molecular genetics to devise more effective therapies. The successful response of LQT1 patients to -blockers, ...

متن کاملThe long QT syndrome: therapeutic implications of a genetic diagnosis.
The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval and a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, known as torsade de pointes (TdP), leading to severe cardiac events such as syncope and/or sudden cardiac death. Molecular genetic studies have revealed a total of eight forms of congenital LQTS caused by mutations in genes of the potassium, sodium ...
