Abstract Background and Aims Risk scores are proposed for genetic arrhythmias. Having in 2010 one such score (M-FACT) the long QT syndrome (LQTS), this study aims to test whether adherence its suggestions would be appropriate. Methods LQT1/2/3 genotype-negative patients without aborted cardiac arrest (ACA) before diagnosis or events (CEs) below age 1 were included study, focusing on an M-FACT ≥2 (intermediate/high risk), either at presentation (static) during follow-up (dynamic), previously...

Despite major advances in the clinical management of long QT syndrome, some patients are not fully protected by beta-blocker therapy. Mexiletine is a well-known sodium channel blocker, with proven efficacy channel-mediated syndrome type 3. Our aim was to evaluate mexiletine 2 (LQT2) using cardiomyocytes derived from patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells, transgenic LQT2 rabbit model, and LQT2.

BACKGROUND: Long QT syndrome is a lethal arrhythmia syndrome, frequently caused by rare loss-of-function variants in the potassium channel encoded KCNH2 . Variant classification difficult, often because of lack functional data. Moreover, variant-based risk stratification also complicated heterogenous clinical data and incomplete penetrance. Here we sought to test whether variant-specific information, primarily from high-throughput assays, could improve both cardiac event large, harmonized...

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a lethal arrhythmia syndrome, frequently caused by rare loss-of-function variants in the potassium channel encoded KCNH2. Variant-based risk stratification complicated heterogenous clinical data, incomplete penetrance, and low-throughput functional data. While variant-specific data can assist with variant classification, whether prediction of outcomes unknown.
