| Popis: | Cardiac channellopathies—such as long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), and short QT syndrome (SQTS)—are genetic disorders secondary to different ion channel mutations predisposing to ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Arrhythmic risk is particularly elevated in symptomatic patients, and nonfatal events (syncope, documented TV, and aborted cardiac arrest) remain the strongest predictor of SCD and are an indication to ICD implantation. |
