Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In long QT syndrome (LQTS), prolonged and heterogeneous ventricular repolarization predisposes to serious arrhythmias. We examined how QT intervals are modified by epinephrine bolus in mutation carriers of three major LQTS subtypes with indefinite QT interval. METHODS: Genotyped, asymptomatic subjects with LQTS type 1 (LQT1; n = 10; four different KCNQ1 mutations), type 2 (LQT2; n = 10; three...
