AIMS: SCN5A mutations are associated with various cardiac phenotypes, including long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3), Brugada syndrome (BrS), and cardiac conduction disease (CCD). Certain mutations, such as SCN5A-1795insD, lead to an overlap syndrome, with patients exhibiting both features of BrS/CCD [decreased sodium current (INa)] and LQT3 (increased late INa). The sodium channel blocker mexiletine may acutely...
