Long QT Syndrome in the Newborn: Could the use of maternal tacrolimus have facilitated the situation?

2022-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a serious condition that can cause sudden cardiac death. Subsequently, a heterozygous mutation of KCNH2 was identified. This has led to the hypothesis that the use of maternal tacrolimus may cause LQTS or have an effect that may facilitate the early occurrence of congenital LQTS.
