A 23-year-old female had been suffering from recurrent syncopal episodes during sleep since her childhood. She had a family history of sudden death and her QTc interval was remarkably prolonged to 537 ms A Holter ECG revealed torsade de pointes, corresponding to syncope. She was started on mexiletine and her QTc interval shortened. Her symptoms were controlled after β-blockers and Ca-blockers were added. A genetic analysis with a next generation sequencer identified a frameshift mutation at the C terminus of the gene. Here we present a type 2 long QT syndrome case in which mexiletine was effective.
一名23岁女性自童年起就一直遭受睡眠期间反复出现的晕厥发作。她有猝死家族史,其QTc间期显著延长至537毫秒。动态心电图显示尖端扭转型室速,与晕厥相符。她开始服用美西律,QTc间期缩短。在加用β受体阻滞剂和钙通道阻滞剂后,她的症状得到控制。使用下一代测序仪进行的基因分析在该基因的C末端发现了一个移码突变。在此,我们报告一例美西律有效的2型长QT综合征病例。
