Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the hallmark of long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is abnormal cardiac repolarization, there are varying degrees of phenotypic expression and arrhythmic risk. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of a morphological T-wave analysis program in defining breakthrough LQTS arrhythmic risk beyond the QTc value. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed 407 genetically confirmed patients with LQT1 (n=246; 43% men)...
