1-2-3-LQTS-Risk

RR interval:

QT interval:

QTc interval:

ms

ms

ms

Insert :

  • QT interval, measured in lead DII or V5 at stable heart rates close to 60 beats/min and RR interval
    • or
  • QTc interval corrected with Bazett formula.

Genotype:

LQT1
LQT2
LQT3

Patient is a carrier of a single mutation in one of the major LQTS genes:

  • KCNQ1 (LQT1)
  • KCNH2 (LQT2)
  • SCN5A (LQT3)

Life-threatening arrhythmic event is defined as (1) sudden cardiac death, (2) aborted cardiac arrest, and (3) hemodynamically non-tolerated polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
