Abstract: Inherited arrhythmia conditions (IAC) can lead to sudden cardiac death at any age, and relatives of an affected person have up to a 50% chance of inheriting the condition and are at risk for developing… read more here.

Abstract: Syncope, a common symptom of cerebral ischemia often shows a multifactorial etiopathogenesis. Although inherited arrhythmias causing syncope is uncommon, such an occurrence could be a warning sign preceding cardiac arrest. Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is… read more here.

The evolution of gene‐guided management of inherited arrhythmia syndromes: Peering beyond monogenic paradigms towards comprehensive genomic risk scores

DOI: 10.1111/jce.14415
Abstract: Inherited arrhythmia syndromes have traditionally been viewed as monogenic forms of disease whose pathophysiology is driven by a single highly penetrant rare genetic variant. Although an accurate depiction of a proportion of genetic variants, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2021-320015
Abstract: There have been remarkable advances in our knowledge of the underlying heritability of cardiac arrhythmias. Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, progressive cardiac conduction disease and the short QT syndrome comprise the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1010748
Abstract: Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes (IAS) including long QT and Brugada Syndrome, are characterized by life-threatening arrhythmias in the absence of apparent structural heart disease and are caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding cardiac ion channels… read more here.
