The investigators sought to test whether certain long QT syndrome (LQTS) mutations are associated with increased repolarization lability and whether repolarization lability (quantified by the QT variability index [QTVI]) is increased in patients with LQTS compared with controls. In 32 genotyped patients with LQTS type 1 (LQT1), 32 genotyped patients with LQTS type 2 (LQT2), and 32 controls, the QTVI was increased...
