Do patients with long QT syndrome remain at risk for sudden cardiac death after 40 years of age?

Nature clinical practice. Cardiovascular medicine - 1 Oct 2008

Postema Pieter G, Wilde Arthur A M

Abstract excerpt

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited arrhythmic disorder in which patients display a propensity for prolongation of the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) and for sudden cardiac death. To obtain a better understanding of this disease, the International LQTS Registry was initiated in 1979, and has been an invaluable source of data on patients aged 40 years and younger with LQTS. The registry collaborators...
