Article Synopsis
- * AAs were the first symptom of IAS in 52% of patients, and nearly a quarter had multiple AAs documented.
- * The study found a moderate incidence of severe outcomes, including a yearly primary endpoint rate of 1.4%, with younger patients experiencing higher risks and other complications affecting some patients as well.
Article Synopsis
- Genetic testing is crucial for diagnosing short QT syndrome, a rare inherited condition that leads to dangerous heart rhythms and is marked by short QT intervals on an ECG.
- Researchers reviewed and updated knowledge about 34 rare genetic variants linked to short QT syndrome, identifying only nine that definitively cause the condition.
- The variants were found in four main genes (KCNQ1, KCNH2, KCNJ2, SLC4A3), highlighting the importance of reanalyzing genetic data to improve patient care and early identification of at-risk individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Risk stratification for patients with drug-induced type-1 Brugada syndrome is difficult, and the usefulness of electrophysiological studies (EPS) is unclear.
- A systematic literature search categorized patients into three groups based on EPS results: positive, negative, and no EPS conducted.
- The study found no significant differences in the rates of arrhythmia events among these groups over an average follow-up of 5.1 years, suggesting EPS may not enhance long-term prognosis in these patients.
