Abstract In approximately 10-20% of all sudden deaths, no structural cardiac abnormalities
can be identified. Important potential causes of sudden cardiac deaths in the absence of …

Opinion statement Ion channelopathies are a frequent cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD)
in patients with structurally normal hearts. These are generally Mendelian inherited electrical …

The study of cardiac channelopathies represents a relatively new discipline among heart
rhythm specialists and allied professionals. In 1995, the discipline of cardiac …

Although sudden cardiac death in youths is generally rare, it is estimated that 10% to 20% of
these deaths occur in previously healthy infants, children, adolescents and young adults …

The discovery of the human genome has ushered in a new era of molecular testing,
advancing our knowledge and ability to identify cardiac channelopathies. Genetic variations …

Over a few years, the field of inherited arrhythmogenic diseases has rapidly expanded, thus
reshaping clinical management for these conditions. It is now clear that to handle these …

Diseases of the electrical conduction system that lead to irregularities in cardiac rhythm can
have morbid and often lethal clinical outcomes. Linkage analysis has been the principal tool …

The inherited arrhythmia (IA) syndromes are a group of disorders characterised by an
increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), abnormal cardiac electrical function and …

Inherited arrhythmias and conduction system diseases are known causes of sudden cardiac
death and are responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in patients with congenital …

Inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes have received a lot of attention in recent years,
particularly the molecular genetic basis, which has been unraveled to a great extent in the …
