Pharmacological activation of the hERG K+ channel for the management of the long QT syndrome: A review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Arrhythmia"
DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12741
Abstract: In the human heart, the rapid delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) contributes significantly to ventricular action potential (AP) repolarization and to set the duration of the QT interval of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The pore‐forming… read more here.

Reclassification of genetic variants in children with long QT syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1300
Abstract: Genes encoding cardiac ion channels or regulating proteins have been associated with the inherited form of long QT syndrome (LQTS). Complex pathophysiology and missing functional studies, however, often bedevil variant interpretation and classification. We aimed… read more here.

Potential therapeutic effects of electrogram-guided cardioneuroablation in long QT syndrome: case series
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10840-020-00831-w
Abstract: A significant shortening of the corrected QT interval (QTc) in addition to parasympathetic denervation after cardioneuroablation (CNA) was recently demonstrated in patients with vagally mediated bradyarrhythmias and normal QTc range. This study assessed the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2019.12.020
Abstract: BACKGROUND Diagnosing long-QT syndrome (LQTS) remains challenging due to a considerable overlap in QT-interval between LQTS and healthy subjects. Characterizing T-wave morphology might improve LQTS diagnosis. OBJECTIVE To improve LQTS diagnosis by combining new polynomial-based… read more here.
