Normal Hearing
The parents, and 2 other children had normal ECGs and normal hearing. This report was critical to the development of current knowledge regarding LQTS. [slideplayer.es]
Subsequent descriptions of an almost identical condition aside from normal hearing were made in 1963 by Romano (2) and 1964 by Ward (3), who described multiple individuals from two distinct families affected by recurrent ventricular fibrillation, a condition [rarediseases.org]
