Abstract: BACKGROUND Acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) is often associated with poor clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE The present study examined the important predictors for all-cause mortality of aLQTS patients by applying both random survival forest (RSF) and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Aims Long QT syndrome (LQTS) carries a risk of life-threatening polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (Torsades de Pointes, TdP) and is a major cause of premature sudden cardiac death. TdP is induced by R-on-T premature ventricular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0208321
Abstract: Increased proinflammatory interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are associated with acquired long QT-syndrome (LQTS) in patients with systemic inflammation, leading to higher risks for life-threatening polymorphic ventricular tachycardia such as Torsades de Pointes. However, the functional and… read more here.
