Syncope, a common symptom of cerebral ischemia often shows a multifactorial
etiopathogenesis. Although inherited arrhythmias causing syncope is uncommon, such an …

Since the discovery of the first mutation causing long QT syndrome (LQTS) in 1995, the field
of hereditary arrhythmogenic syndromes has expanded greatly. Today, these syndromes …

BACKGROUND: It is often reported that clinical symptoms are useful in differentiating
cardiac from non-cardiac syncope. Studies in the young are rare. This study was designed to …

Inherited Long QT and Brugada syndromes cause syncope and sudden cardiac death due
to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Diagnosis may be difficult and the syncopal events are …

The following briefly reviews features and management of long QT syndrome (LQTS),
Brugada Syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), and …

Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are a common cause of apparently unexplained cardiac
arrest or sudden cardiac death. These include long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome …

Syncope is defined as a relatively abrupt but transient loss of consciousness due to
inadequate cerebral flow with subsequent prompt recovery. Structural heart disease is a …

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for 230,000 to 350,000 deaths per year in the United
States. While many who suffer SCD possess underlying structural heart disease, inherited …

Unexplained cardiac arrest is defined as a cardiac arrest in the absence of coronary artery
disease and overt structural heart disease, present in 5%-10% of cardiac arrest survivors. A …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the follow-up and treatment of the
mutation-carrying relatives of a proband with an inherited arrhythmia syndrome …
