Physical and Psychological Consequences of Left Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation in Long-QT Syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.

Background: Left cardiac sympathetic denervation reduces risk in long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Side effects and patient satisfaction have not been systematically analyzed in patients who underwent left cardiac sympathetic denervation. Aims of this study included documenting physical and psychological consequences and patient satisfaction after left cardiac sympathetic denervation in LQTS or catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
