Long QT syndrome is a disorder of ventricular myocardial repolarization associated with an increased risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This report highlights a case of QT prolongation with torsades de pointes in a patient with baseline congenital long QT syndrome, believed to be precipitated by metabolic changes associated with the "ketogenic diet."
长QT综合征是一种心室肌复极化障碍,与危及生命的心律失常和心源性猝死风险增加相关。本报告重点介绍了一名先天性长QT综合征患者出现QT间期延长并伴有尖端扭转型室速的病例,据信这是由与“生酮饮食”相关的代谢变化所诱发的。
