Syncopal episodes began at a mean age of 6±3 years (range 3–12). One 7-year-old asymptomatic child was diagnosed during an exercise test. Patients were of either gender (9 females, 4 males) and each had an unrevealing physical examination. ECG was normal, including the QT and QTc intervals, except for resting sinus bradycardia (63±13 bpm), and echocardiogram did not disclose any pathology. All patients had PVT induced by exercise or isoproterenol infusion at a mean heart rate of 110±10 bpm (Fig. 1). The duration and number of sequential beats of the tachycardia varied considerably. The tests were stopped once arrhythmia was detected, and therefore the significance of the number and duration of VT is unclear. In some patients, only short runs of polymorphic VT were noted, whereas in others continuous PVT lasted for> 60 seconds. The VTs detected in these patients were polymorphic and similar to those described by Leenhardt et al.(1995). Patients’ average QTc (before initiation of treatment) was normal, 0.4±0.02 seconds (range: 0.37–0.43) compared to 0.37±0.016 seconds (range: 0.36–0.41) in the unaffected sibs (p< 0.002). Patients’ mean QT interval, although in the normal range, was significantly longer than that of the unaffected siblings. The significance of these findings is unclear, but they may reflect a “mild” disorder in repolarization as the underlying pathology.
