BACKGROUND The prevalence of genetic risk factors has not been systematically evaluated in the setting of complete atriventricular (AV) block complicated by Long QT syndrome (LQTS).OBJECTIVE This study was performed to determine to what extent acquired LOTS in the context of AV block has a genetic substrate.METHODS Among 420 recipients of pacemakers implanted over a 3-year period, we identified retrospectively 29 patients with complete AV block and a QT interval >600 ms in duration. A second study group included 22 randomly selected patients who had AV block and a QT interval
