Journal ArticleDOI
Long QT syndromes and torsade de pointes
TL;DR: Mutations causing "silent" forms of congenital LQTS, in which the patient remains free of arrhythmias until exposed to drugs that further impair repolarisation, are now recognised.
Journal ArticleDOI
J-Point Elevation in Survivors of Primary Ventricular Fibrillation and Matched Control Subjects: Incidence and Clinical Significance
Raphael Rosso,Evgeni Kogan,Bernard Belhassen,Uri Rozovski,Melvin M. Scheinman,David Zeltser,Amir Halkin,Arie Steinvil,Karin Heller,Michael Glikson,Amos Katz,Sami Viskin +11 more
TL;DR: J-point elevation is found more frequently among patients with idiopathic VF than among healthy control subjects and the frequency of J- point elevation among young athletes is intermediate.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings indicate that in patients with mild heart-failure symptoms, left ventricular dysfunction, and left bundle-branch block, early intervention with CRT-D was associated with a significant long-term survival benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Response of the QT Interval to the Brief Tachycardia Provoked by Standing: A Bedside Test for Diagnosing Long QT Syndrome
Sami Viskin,Pieter G. Postema,Zahurul A. Bhuiyan,Raphael Rosso,Jonathan M. Kalman,Jitendra K. Vohra,Milton E Guevara-Valdivia,Manlio F. Márquez,Evgeni Kogan,Bernard Belhassen,Michael Glikson,Boris Strasberg,Charles Antzelevitch,Arthur A.M. Wilde +13 more
TL;DR: Evaluated the response of the QT interval to the brisk tachycardia induced by standing provides important information that aids in the diagnosis of LQTS and receiver-operating characteristic curves showed that the test adds diagnostic value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode of onset of torsade de pointes in congenital long QT syndrome
Sami Viskin,Srinivasa R. Alla,Hal V. Barron,Karin Heller,Leslie A. Saxon,Ilan Kitzis,George F. Van Hare,Mary J. Wong,Michael D. Lesh,Melvin M. Scheinman +9 more
TL;DR: The "long-short" sequence, which has been recognized as a hallmark of torsade de pointes in the acquired LQTS, plays a major role in the genesis of tORSade in the congenital LQ TS as well.
