Use of a subcutaneous ICD in a patient with short QT syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Short QT syndrome carries the risk for inappropriate therapies using transvenous ICD because of overdetection of the ample T wave. SQT syndrome may also benefit from subcutaneous ICD, although additional cases are needed to affirm the safety of such device in this setting.

Long QT syndrome, which is defined by corrected QT interval longer than 0.45 seconds in men and o. 47 sec in women , could be divided into idiopathic (congenital ) and acquired forms. The idiopathic form is a familial disorder that can be associated with sensorineural deafness (Jervell and Lange- Neelson syndrome), which is transmitted with an autosomal recessive pattern. Although this syndrome...

BACKGROUND Up to 40% of patients with transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) experience lead-associated complications and may suffer from high complication rates when lead extraction is indicated. Subcutaneous ICD may represent a feasible alternative; however, the efficacy of the subcutaneous ICD in the detection and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with heredi...

متن کاملShort QT syndrome: pharmacological treatment.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various antiarrhythmic drugs at prolonging the QT interval into the normal range and preventing ventricular arrhythmias in patients with short QT syndrome.

متن کاملShort QT syndrome in a 14-year-old patient: The first pediatric case from Turkey
Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a cardiac channelopathy associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and disposition to atrial-ventricular fibrillation (A-VF) (1). An accelerated ventricular repolarization (VR) abnormality develops in the heart due to an electrical stability disorder secondary to increased extracellular potassium flow in the heart (2, 3). Therefore, ventricular arrhythmias develop, w...
