Abstract

Background Congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is caused by mutations of genes encoding the slow component of the delayed rectifier current (LQT1, LQT5), the rapid component of the delayed rectifier current (LQT2, LQT6), or the Na(+) current (LQT3), resulting in ST-T-wave abnormalities on the ECG.
