About This Book
Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization, which can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias. This book provides an in-depth examination of its genetic underpinnings, highlighting the role of ion channel mutations in its development.
Clinically, LQTS presents with symptoms ranging from syncope to sudden cardiac death, often triggered by exercise or emotional stress. The text covers diagnostic approaches, including ECG analysis and genetic testing, to aid in early identification and risk assessment.
Therapeutic aspects are thoroughly discussed, encompassing beta-blockers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and lifestyle modifications. The book emphasizes personalized management strategies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
Written by Dr. Spineanu Eugenia, this resource serves as a valuable reference for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of LQTS.
