The first arrhythmic manifestations occur during adolescence and largely are triggered by increased sympathetic activity. Mutations in genes encoding ion channels or ion channels’ controlling proteins h...
متن کاملThe relationship between Tonic-Clonic sizures in children and increased time of ventricular repolarization
Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder in which electrical cardiac ventricular repolarization is impaired. It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in palpitations, fainting, drowning, or sudden death. Long QT Syndrome may present as tonic-clonic seizure or a seizure-like disorder. By taking a superficial electrocardiogram (ECG) and proper diagnosis,...

متن کاملScreening for, and management of, possible arrhythmogenic syndromes (channelopathies/ion channel diseases).
This survey assesses the current management strategies for individuals with electrocardiographic features, suggesting an arrhythmogenic syndrome [including long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BS), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) or short QT syndrome] or family members of patients with a known arrhythmogenic syndrome, in 44 large European centres. The principa...
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...
