Only 1 of the probands in the present study presented with a QTc ≤330 ms (patient 1). [doi.org]

• Falling

  The reason for this is patients who have short QT syndrome have a higher risk of sudden death and atrial fibrillation when they're PR interval falls below certain thresholds. [wiki.med.umich.edu]

  These studies suggest that the normal QTc of healthy individuals should fall within a range of 350 to 450 ms for males and 360 to 460 ms for females; hence, QTc 11 This can lead to misclassification of an upward of 20% of apparently healthy individuals [circep.ahajournals.org]

  Using a 2-standard deviation cutoff test is sensitive, but detects a large number of normal people who fall below this level (350 ms for men and 360 ms for women) (Giudicessi & Ackerman, 2013). [acc.org]

  During the fall of 1999, a lack of success provoked a radical change in our perception of the possible disease and we moved from theory to a real clinical case. A 37-year-old lady presented with two consecutive episodes of syncope. [karger.com]

  Patients present clinically with a spectrum of signs and symptoms including irregular palpitations due to episodes of paroxysmal atrialfibrillation, dizziness and fainting (syncope) and/or sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [journals.viamedica.pl]

  The most common symptoms are: Heart pounding (palpitations) Fainting (syncope) Sudden cardiac death (may be the first symptom for some patients) Atrial fibrillation If SQTS causes atrial fibrillation, other symptoms may include shortness of breath, dizziness [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  Type 2 ST-segment elevation has a saddleback appearance with a high take-off ST-segment elevation of ≥2 mm followed by a trough displaying ≥1 mm ST elevation followed by either a positive or biphasic T wave. [af-ablation.org]

  The ECG in this clinical entity, designated SQT4 and SQT5, typically shows ST-segment elevation in precordial leads V 1 and V 2 either at baseline or after ajmaline administration. [circep.ahajournals.org]

• T Wave Alternans

  Occasionally persons with LQTS display T-wave alternans, meaning that the amplitude or direction of the T-wave alternates from one beat to the next. T-wave alternans is an indicator of very high risk of torsade de pointes. [ecgwaves.com]

Treatments Treatment of arrhythmias will vary from one patient to another and will depend on the type, severity and cause of the condition. [cedars-sinai.edu]

Studies with various adult populations have identified individuals who met the SQTS diagnostic criteria; however, these patients were asymptomatic and did not have a poor prognosis. [jpccs.jp]

The rarity of short QT syndrome makes calculating prognosis accurately difficult. The risk of sudden cardiac death has been estimated at 0.8% per year, leading to a cumulative risk of sudden cardiac death of 41% by the age of 40. [en.wikipedia.org]

A mutation in GPD1L has been shown to result in a partial reduction of I Na Knowledge thus far gained through genetic analysis suggests that identification of specific mutations may not be very helpful in formulating a diagnosis or providing a prognosis [af-ablation.org]
