Congenital long QT syndrome
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary cardiac disease characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval at basal ECG and by a high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Disease prevalence is estimated at close to 1 in 2,500 live births. The two cardinal manifestations of LQTS are syncopal episodes, that may lead to cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death, and electrocardiographic ...
متن کاملEpinephrine-Induced Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in a Patient With Congenital Long QT Syndrome
A 24-year-old woman presented to the department of plastic surgery for surgical excision of a nevus on her nose. Although her history failed to reveal any cardiac disease, her pre-operative electrocardiogram (ECG) showed an extremely prolonged QT interval of up to 528 msec. Repeated history-taking after admission revealed three syncopal episodes associated with both physical and emotional stres...
متن کاملFever-induced QTc prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias in individuals with type 2 congenital long QT syndrome.
Type 2 congenital long QT syndrome (LQT-2) is linked to mutations in the human ether a-go-go-related gene (HERG) and is characterized by rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation, ventricular arrhythmias, syncope, and sudden death. Recognized triggers of these cardiac events include emotional and acoustic stimuli. Here we investigated the repeated occurrence of fever-induced polymorphic ven...
متن کاملEffects of glucose-induced insulin secretion on ventricular repolarization in patients with congenital long QT syndrome.
To assess the role of insulin in ventricular repolarization in patients with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), an oral glucose tolerance (OGT) test was performed in 11 patients with LQTS and in 11 control cases without QT prolongation. Plasma glucose, potassium level and the immunoreactive insulin concentration (IRI) were measured, and the QT interval and T wave morphology on 12-lead ECG were...
متن کاملAssociation of a congenital long QT syndrome type 1 with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
The occurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with congenital long QT syndrome has rarely been described. This case report discusses the occurrence of a clinically overt takotsubo cardiomyopathy accompanied by congenital long QT syndrome type 1 in a female patient.
