Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) gene mutation carriers with indeterminate electrocardiogram frequently escape clinical diagnosis. We assessed the use of epinephrine bolus injection in revealing T-wave abnormalities. METHODS: We recruited 30 genotyped asymptomatic LQTS gene carriers with nondiagnostic QT interval and 15 controls. Electrocardiogram was recorded with body surface potential mapping after an...
