Abstract: Importance Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is associated with syncope, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. Half of patients with LQTS have a normal or borderline-normal QT interval despite LQTS often being detected by QT prolongation… read more here.

Abstract: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening hereditary arrhythmia characterized by a prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG) due to delayed ventricular repolarization. This condition predisposes individuals to severe arrhythmic events, including ventricular… read more here.
