Abstract excerpt

AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate whether prolonged and dispersed myocardial contraction duration assessed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) may serve as risk markers for cardiac events (documented arrhythmia, syncope, and cardiac arrest) in patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS). METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-three patients with genetically confirmed LQTS (nine double- and 33 single-mutation carriers...
