Abstract
Significant clinical, research, genetic, and therapeutic advances in the diagnosis and management of long QT syndrome (LQTS) have made the treatment of this channelopathy one of the most exciting and enlightening bench-to-bed success stories in the field of cardiology. Cascade screening identifies affected family members, and pre-symptomatic therapy saves lives. Here, we present a case of LQTS in a child and a review of the diagnostic and treatment strategies that have been introduced to date in the modern era.
