ONG QT SYNDROME (LQTS) and short QT syndrome SODIUM CHANNEL PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND LQTS/SQTS L(SQTS) are genetic cardiac ion channelopathies that occur in the general population and have a well-documented association with sudden cardiac death both in children and adults. Sudden cardiac death usually is caused by sustained ventricular tachycardia, including ventricular fibrillation. The published incidence averages about 5 to 10 deaths per 10,000 population. In the United States, sudden cardiac death is responsible for about 300,000 to 450,000 deaths per year. The ion channelopathies are a heterogenous group of inherited multisystem disorders that include Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. These conditions have 3 features in common: (1) a structurally normal heart, (2) genetic basis, and (3) predisposition to lethal arrhythmias. They are being recognized with increased frequency in the perioperative period, and guidelines for the management of patients with these complex arrhythmias are lacking. This review addresses the perioperative issues associated with LQTS and SQTS, with a focus on evidence-based management.
