Two forms of inherited long QT syndrome are known: (1) the more common Romano-Ward syndrome (RWS), with an autosomal dominant inheritance, and (2) the Jervell and Lange-Nielssen syndrome (JLN), which is usually autosomal recessive long QT syndrome associated with inherited sensorineuronal ...
Long QT syndrome (LQTS)is an uncommon disorder where yourhearttakes longer than usual to recover after each beat. It affects one in 5,000 people and can raise the risk of “torsades de pointes,” a type ofirregular heartbeatthat can be deadly. But there are treatments for it. Here’s ...
Long QT syndrome is an uncommon inherited condition— meaning it's caused by genes passed on to you from your parents. The electrical activity of heart cells is controlled by a set of channels that pump minerals, such as sodium and potassium, in and out of cells. If you inherit genes ...

The following is a brief review that stresses the role of autonomic modulation of repolarization, summarizing the extent of our information with respect to the normal heart and the dysrhythmic heart. Particular emphasis is placed on the long QT syndrome and its relationship to lethal arrhythmias. ...
some experimental studies in the past demonstrated QT prolongation following the administrations of BBs.101,102 The ability of BBs to shorten the duration of the QT interval, which has made possible their use in the treatment of long QT syndrome,103 strengthens the case that BBs reduce the durat...
Long QT syndrome.Your heart’s lower chambers take too long to contract and release. This may cause dangerous rhythm problems and death. Bradyarrhythmias This type of arrhythmia refers to a slow heart rhythm, which can be caused by your heart's electrical system disorders or by certain medicati...
COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a global pandemic. 3CL protease is a virally encoded protein that is essential across a broad spectrum of coronaviruses with no close human analogs. PF-00835231, a 3CL protease inhibitor, has exhibited p
Nilotinib should be avoided in the long QT syndrome, or where there are concomitant drugs that prolong the QT interval. Hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia should be corrected prior to nilotinib use and these electrolytes should be monitored periodically. An ECG should be obtained to monitor QTc at ...
