Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited genetic disorder associated with QT prolongation on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and ventricular tachyarrhythmias that manifest as syncope, aborted cardiac ...

Long QT syndrome is a medical condition that causes abnormal electrical conduction in the heart. When graphed on an ...

In fact, Viskin et al15 demonstrated that the QTc was calculated incorrectly (when compared with LQTS experts) by one-third of heart rhythm specialists and by nearly three-quarters of cardiologists.

Accurate diagnosis is, therefore, vital. Patients with LQTS have impaired adaptation of the QT interval in response to changes in heart rate. A study by Dr Sami Viskin and colleagues has now shown ...

A major focus of our research is on hERG channels, which are critical to normal cardiac repolarization. Inherited mutations in the hERG channel gene, or drug-induced inhibition of channel function ...
