[The long QT interval syndrome].
نویسنده
چکیده
The syndrome of long QT interval frequently follows to syncope or a sudden cardiac death on the basis of originated polymorphic ventricular tachycardia of the "torsade de pointes" type. The prolongation of the QT interval in the hereditary form is based on mutation of the genes responsible for the formation of sodium and potassium channels. The authors analyze the occurrence, clinical findings, therapy and genetic and electropathophysiological connections of the most frequently occurring genotype LQT1, LQT2 and LQT3 as well as the acquired forms of the syndrome of long QT interval.

The 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,...

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...
متن کاملLack of association between coding region of KCNE2 gene and the congenital long QT syndrome in an Iranian population
Introduction: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation at basal ECG. Different LQTS genes encode ion channel subunits or proteins involved in regulating cardiac ionic currents. Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6) is caused by mutation in the KCNE2 gene. Our research aimed to analyze genetic variants of KCNE2 gene causing the disease in Irania...
متن کاملTorsades de pointes: Should ECG be taken from all patients before surgery? A case report
Torsades de pointes is a rare but potentially lethal arrhythmia which mainly occurs in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. ECG is a reliable tool to detect such abnormalities, routinely taken from all patients over 40 who undergo surgery. We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman with torsades de points arrhythmia after hysterectomy surgery. Most likely, our patients had long QT syndro...

Background: Long QT syndromes (LQT) are genetic abnormalities of ventricular repo-larization, with an estimated incidence of about one per 10000 births. It is characterized by prolongation of the QT interval in electrocardiogram (EKG) and associated with a high risk for syncope and sudden death in patients. Type of this syndrome is association with congenital deafness. Our objective was to eval...

Background and purpose: Long QT syndrome is a heart arrhythmia identified by prolongation of the QT interval which is a cause of sudden cardiac death in young individuals. In most cases, abnormalities in heart repolarization are reasons of prolongation of action potential and arrhythmia. The activity of ion channels is sensitive to ATP level, therefore, mitochondrial disorders are considered...
