Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in the Long-QT Syndrome Gene-Specific Triggers for Life-Threatening Arrhythmias
Peter J. Schwartz,Silvia G. Priori,Carla Spazzolini,Arthur J. Moss,G. Michael Vincent,Carlo Napolitano,Isabelle Denjoy,Pascale Guicheney,Günter Breithardt,Mark T. Keating,Jeffrey A. Towbin,Alan H. Beggs,Paul A. Brink,Arthur A.M. Wilde,Lauri Toivonen,Wojciech Zareba,Jennifer L. Robinson,Katherine W. Timothy,Valerie A. Corfield,Duangrurdee Wattanasirichaigoon,Clive Corbett,Wilhelm Haverkamp,Eric Schulze-Bahr,Michael H. Lehmann,Ketty Schwartz,Philippe Coumel,Raffaella Bloise +26 more
TL;DR: Life-threatening arrhythmias in LQTS patients tend to occur under specific circumstances in a gene-specific manner, allowing new insights into the mechanisms that relate the electrophysiological consequences of mutations on specific genes to clinical manifestations and offer the possibility of complementing traditional therapy with gene- specific approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype-phenotype relationship in Brugada syndrome: electrocardiographic features differentiate SCN5A-related patients from non–SCN5A-related patients
Jeroen P.P. Smits,Lars Eckardt,Vincent Probst,Connie R. Bezzina,Jean-Jacques Schott,Carol Ann Remme,Wilhelm Haverkamp,Günter Breithardt,Denis Escande,Eric Schulze-Bahr,Herve LeMarec,Arthur A.M. Wilde +11 more
TL;DR: The authors observed significantly longer conduction intervals on baseline ECG in patients with established SCN5A mutations (PQ and HV interval and, upon class I drugs, more QRS increase) which concur with the observed loss of function of mutated BS-related sodium channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variations of KCNQ1, KCNH2, SCN5A, KCNE1, and KCNE2 in drug-induced long QT syndrome patients.
Aimee D C Paulussen,Ronaldus A. H. J. Gilissen,Martin Armstrong,Pieter A. Doevendans,Peter Verhasselt,Hubert J.M. Smeets,Eric Schulze-Bahr,Wilhelm Haverkamp,Giinter Breithardt,Nadine Cohen,Jeroen Aerssens +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that missense mutations in the examined cLQ TS genes explain only a minority of aLQTS cases, and are thus unlikely to significantly influence aL QTS susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium channel gene (SCN5A) mutations in 44 index patients with Brugada syndrome: different incidences in familial and sporadic disease.
Eric Schulze-Bahr,Lars Eckardt,Günter Breithardt,Karlheinz Seidl,Thomas Wichter,Christian Wolpert,Martin Borggrefe,Wilhelm Haverkamp +7 more
TL;DR: Genetic testing of SCN5A is especially useful in familial disease to identify individuals at cardiac risk and in sporadic cases, however, a genetic basis and the value of mutation screening has to be further determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ajmaline challenge in Brugada syndrome: diagnostic impact, safety, and recommended protocol.
Sascha Rolf,Hans-Jürgen Bruns,Thomas Wichter,Paulus Kirchhof,Michael Ribbing,Kristina Wasmer,Matthias Paul,Günter Breithardt,Wilhelm Haverkamp,Lars Eckardt +9 more
TL;DR: All patients with aborted sudden death or unexplained syncope without demonstrable structural heart disease and family members of affected individuals should presently undergo drug testing for unmasking BS using ajmaline using a protocol with fractionated drug administration.
