DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.09.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Most fetal deaths are unexplained. Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic disorder of cardiac ion channels. Affected individuals, including fetuses, are predisposed to sudden death. We sought to determine the risk of fetal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2020.08.017
Abstract: BACKGROUND In patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS), swimming and loud noises have been identified as genotype-specific arrhythmic triggers in LQTS type 1 and LQTS type 2, respectively. OBJECTIVE To compare LQTS groups' responses to… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval. ECG screening in the first 48 hours of life may be misleading, even in newborns with a genotype-positive LQTS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circ.142.suppl_3.14500
Abstract: Introduction: The safety of vigorous exercise for individuals with appropriately-treated LQTS remains unproven, and physical activity practices in this population have not been described. Methods: LIVE-LQTS prospectively enrolled individuals age 8-60 years with overt LQTS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.118.033943
Abstract: Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is associated with potentially fatal arrhythmias. Treatment is very effective, but its diagnosis may be challenging. Importantly, different methods are used to assess the QT interval, which makes its recognition… read more here.
