Sex-differences in short QT syndrome: a systematic literature review and pooled analysis
Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is an inherited arrhythmic disorder with a risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).1,2 Patients may present with symptoms such as palpitations, which could suggest atrial arrhythmias. Several criteria to facilitate the diagnosis of SQTS have been proposed in 2011.3 The European S...

| Sumario: | Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is an inherited arrhythmic disorder with a risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).1,2 Patients may present with symptoms such as palpitations, which could suggest atrial arrhythmias. Several criteria to facilitate the diagnosis of SQTS have been proposed in 2011.3 The European Society of Cardiology guidelines updated these criteria in 2015.4 It has been suggested that an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is possibly a definitive option to prevent SCD in these patients.1,5 Some studies have recommended the use of hydroquinidine in high risk SQTS patients including those suffering from recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias.2,6 |
