3 Long QT Syndrome Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary repolarization disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on surface ECG, syncope, polymorphic VT, and increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest in individuals with no underlying structural heart disease. Curr Probl Cardiol 2012;37:

9 Diagnosi di Long QT Syndrome Schwartz Score 1) Criteri Elettrocardiografici 2) Anamnesi personale 3) Anamnesi famigliare LQTS Probality Score 1 poin or less = low probability 2 to 3 points = intermediate probability 4 points or higher = hight probability Zareba W, Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases 2008

18 Stratificazione del Rischio By Syncope Goldenberg et at. JACC Vol. 51, No. 24, 2008

19 Stratificazione del Rischio By LQTS genotypes It has been suggested that arrhythmic risk is related to the presence of specific LQTS genotypes. The lethality of cardiac events was found to be significantly higher in LQT3 than in LQT2 and LQT1 family members Goldenberg et at. JACC Vol. 51, No. 24, 2008

24 Genetic Testing 1) Genetic testing can identify a mutation in 50 to 75% of probands in whom the diagnosis appears to be certain on clinical grounds. 2) A negative genetic test does not rule out the diagnosis. 3) There is also the potential for false positive results, since detection of a mutation does not establish the diagnosis. 4) Genetic testing is most useful in two settings: When a clinical diagnosis is relatively certain, knowing the specific gene affected may clarify the prognosis In a family with an affected proband and a known genetic defect, the genotyping of family members can help rule out the diagnosis in some patients. However a positive test identifies a family member as being a mutation carrier, even if he or she is asymptomatic and has a normal QT interval. Roden DM et al, NEJM 2008

25 Short QT Syndrome The hereditary short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a recently described repolarization disorder associated with sudden cardiac death in individuals with no underlying structural heart disease. Curr Probl Cardiol 2012;37:

26 Short QT Syndrome Twelve-lead electrocardiogram of a patient with short QT syndrome Curr Probl Cardiol 2012;37:

27 Short QT Syndrome Point-scoring system for diagnosis of SQTS Patients are classified as 1. low probability (score 2) 2. intermediate probability (3 points) 3. high probability (4 points) of short QT syndrome. Curr Probl Cardiol 2012;37:

28 Short QT Syndrome Therapy Options 1) ICD implant. 2) Use of hydroquinidine to suppress recurrent VT/VF and also in patients deemed unsuitable for or who refuse an ICD implant. 3) Use of amiodarone in suppressing recurrent VT in a patient has been reported.there are no long-term data on the use of amiodarone in patients with SQTS.

51 From Brugada Pattern to Brugada Syndrome Brugada Syndrome is definitively diagnosed only if the ECG displays type 1 pattern in more than 1 precordial lead (V1-V3), either spontaneously or provoked after administration of a sodium channel blocking agent and is associated with 1 or more of the following clinical characteristics: 1. Syncope 2. Nocturnal agonal respiration 3. Inducible VT/VF with electrical stimulation 4. Family history of sudden cardiac death 45 years 5. Type 1 ECG pattern in family member 6. Spontaneous VT/VF Curr Probl Cardiol 2012;37:

58 Management of patients with Brugada Syndrome: Results of the PRELUDE Registry Survival According to Presence of QRS fragmentation Priori S et al.j Am Coll Cardiol 2012;59:37 45

59 CONCLUSION: Our data show that VT/VF inducibility is unable to identify high-risk patients, whereas the presence of a spontaneous type I ECG, history of syncope, ventricular effective refractory period 200 ms, and QRS fragmentation seem useful to identify candidates for prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
