Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by prolonged QTc time, syncope, or sudden death caused by torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation. We investigated the clinical and electrophysiologic phenotype of individual mutations and the compound mutations in a family in which different genotypes could be found. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the...
