Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) Overview

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a highly arrhythmogenic, heterogeneous cardiac electrophysiologic disorder—presenting as either an inherited congenital condition or acquired secondary to specific medications or electrolyte derangements—that profoundly predisposes patients to syncope, seizures, and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The disease is fundamentally driven by critical disruptions in myocardial repolarization, predominantly resulting from loss-of-function mutations in potassium channels (most notably KCNQ1 in LQT1 or KCNH2 in LQT2) or gain-of-function mutations in sodium channels (SCN5A in LQT3). While heterozygous mutations typically manifest as the autosomal dominant Romano-Ward syndrome, rare homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations precipitate the severe autosomal recessive Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, distinctively characterized by profound sensorineural deafness. Clinically, while a subset of patients may harbor “concealed” mutations with normal resting electrocardiograms, the hallmark diagnostic feature remains a pathologically prolonged heart-rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval. This underlying electrophysiological vulnerability creates a lethal substrate where specific triggers—most classically acute adrenergic surges from sudden physical exertion, auditory startle, or extreme emotional stress—can abruptly precipitate Torsades de Pointes (TdP), a fatal polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Because of the persistent risk of fatal arrhythmias, the modern standard of care mandates the strict avoidance of QT-prolonging agents and relies on aggressive pharmacological prophylaxis with non-selective beta-blockers (such as nadolol or propranolol), while high-risk patients definitively require implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement and potential left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) to secure long-term survival.
