Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is the prototypic cardiac channelopathy underscored by profound genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. In 1991, the first LQTS chromosome locus was identified and ...

We all jump when a phone suddenly rings, but for some people this can be lethal. Type 2 long QT syndrome is a rare condition ...

Prolonged QT syndrome (a.k.a. Long QT Syndrome) consists of multiple different variations including long QT type 1-12, Romano-Ward syndrome and Jervell-Lange-Nielsen syndrome. A prolonged QT ...

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is potentially lethal if left untreated. Accurate diagnosis is, therefore, vital. Patients with LQTS have impaired adaptation of the QT interval in response to changes in ...

Inherited mutations in the hERG channel gene, or drug-induced inhibition of channel function lead to inherited or acquired Long QT syndrome (LQTS) and the development of lethal cardiac arrhthymias. As ...
