Frequency and Genotype‐Dependence of intrinsic chronotropic insufficiency among patients with congenital long QT syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac channelopathy characterized by QT prolongation and a potential for arrhythmic syncope, sudden cardiac arrest or deaths (SCA/SCD). It has been speculated that patients with LQTS might have a primary sinoatrial node (SAN) phenotype of chronotropic insufficiency (CI). This has not been demonstrated convincingly before because of the potentially confounding effects of beta blocker (BB) therapy.
