Congenital Short QT Syndrome
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenital short QT syndrome (SQTS) is characterised by extremely short QT intervals, typically with QTc less than 330 ms and a propensity for life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. The QT interval in SQTS does not change significantly with heart rate and the T waves have a narrow base and high voltage, similar to those in hyperkalemia.
