LQTS is a rare, usually inherited disorder affecting the heart's electrical system and is associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, syncope and sudden death (Kass & Moss, 2003; Makielski, 2006; Zhang, Timothy, & Vincent, 2000).
In both cases, the patients were young adults (22 and 32 years old) with either a documented family history of sudden cardiac death (11) or clinical characteristics consistent with congenital LQTS (12); findings implicating unrecognized congenital LQTS as the likely etiology of TdP in these cases.
Coverage encompasses hERG channel gating, trafficking, and pharmacology, and mechanisms of drug-induced LQTS.
