Myocardial contraction and long QT syndrome.

Trends in cardiovascular medicine - 1 Apr 2011

Haugaa Kristina H, Edvardsen Thor

Abstract excerpt

The long QT syndrome is an inherited cardiac arrhythmic disease that has been regarded as a purely electrical disease. However, sporadic reports have indicated that myocardial contraction abnormalities are present in these patients. Novel echocardiographic techniques such as strain echocardiography have made it possible to further elucidate cardiac mechanics in patients with long QT syndrome. Here, we provide an...
