Abstract excerpt
Patients with congenital long QT syndrome due to potassium channel mutations (LQT1 and LQT2) may elude diagnosis due to normal electrocardiographic findings at rest, yet remain at risk of sudden death during bradycardia or sympathetic stimulation. To test the hypothesis that autonomic maneuvers can unmask long QT syndrome in genetically abnormal subjects with a normal phenotype (QTc < or =450 ms), we exposed 13...
