Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acquired and hereditary long-QT syndromes are important causes of sudden cardiac death. Both categories are characterized by abnormally prolonged cardiac repolarization arising from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. This produces a potentially dangerous substrate for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death. In this review, the pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and prognostic features of long-QT syndromes, as well as recommendations regarding therapy, are reviewed. |
