Long QT syndrome (LQTS) involves both congenital and acquired predispositions toward the characteristic torsades de pointes (TP) ventricular arrhythmia. Congenital long QT syndrome generally manifests with TP, syncope, or sudden death early in life. This is a documented case of previously undiagnosed congenital LQTS in a 48-year-old woman where the first and fatal episodes of TP were provoked by hemodialysis.
长QT综合征(LQTS)涉及对特征性尖端扭转型室性心动过速(TP)心律失常的先天性和后天易感性。先天性长QT综合征通常在生命早期表现为TP、晕厥或猝死。这是一例记录在案的48岁女性先前未被诊断出的先天性LQTS病例,其首次致命的TP发作是由血液透析诱发的。
