INTRODUCTION: Syncope and sudden death are associated with sympathetic stimulation in LQT1 while LQT2 patients are more susceptible to arrhythmias during nonexertional states. Abnormal spatial (QTd)- and transmural (TDR)-dispersion of repolarization may indicate increased arrhythmogenicity. This study compares the effect of phenylephrine on QTd and TDR in genotyped LQTS to control (C). METHODS AND RESULTS:...
