The mechanisms underlying drug induced QT prolongation and the immediate treatment of
torsade de pointes have been extensively studied but the post-acute management of the …

Background Acquired long QT syndrome (ALQTS) has long been overlooked in clinical
practice. Recent studies reported that severe ALQTS (QTc≥ 500 ms) in hospitalized patients …

Background: The longQT syndromes (LQTS) are inherited electrical cardiomyopathies
characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and ventricular arrhythmias. Several …

Background Long QT syndrome (LQTS) can lead to ventricular arrhythmia, especially
torsade de pointes (TdP) tachycardia and/or ventricular tachycardia (VT). The aim of this …

Long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval on the
surface electrocardiogram and is associated with precipitation of torsade de pointes (TdP), a …

The management of patients affected by congenital long QT syndrome (cLQTS) is rather
straightforward 1 and, interestingly, has not changed dramatically in the 45 years since it …

Background: The most common acquired cause of Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is drug
induced QT interval prolongation. It is an electrophysiological entity, which is characterized …

Opinion statement The clinical phenotype of the long QT syndrome (LQTS) is quite variable,
with the frequency and type of life-threatening arrhythmias influenced by the specific …

Abstract Background: Acquired long QT (LQT) interval is thought to be a consequence of
drug therapy and electrolyte disturbances. Hypothesis: We characterize the potential effects …

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) describes a group of disorders characterized by QT interval
prolongation secondary to delayed cardiac repolarization that may either be genetic …
