Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop an objective method to distinguish between HERG and KvLQT1 genotypes on the surface ECG. BACKGROUND: The two most prevalent genes affected in long QT syndrome (LQTS) are KvLQT1 (KCNQ1) and HERG (KCNH2), which are mutated in >90% of patients with a reported LQTS genotype. It is known that T waves have lower amplitude and more notches in HERG patients than T waves in...
