Abstract

Background — The hereditary long-QT syndrome is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and a variable clinical course with arrhythmia-related syncope and sudden death. Mutations involving the human ether-a-go-go–related gene (HERG) channel are responsible for the LQT2 form of long-QT ...
