    Notes: Repolarization Dynamics in LQTS. Introduction: Dynamics of ventricular repolarization may contribute to cardiac arrhythmias in subjects with the long QT syndrome (LQTS). The aim of the present study was to assess the dynamics of repolarization duration and the dynamics of repolarization complexity in LQTS patients and their unaffected family members. Methods and Results: Twelve-lead 24-hour ambulatory ECG recordings were obtained from LQTS patients (n = 38) and unaffected family members (n = 20). The 24-hour dynamics of the QT interval, T wave complexity (TWC) index measured by principal component analysis, and the RR interval were analyzed using standard deviation (SD) and square root of the mean squared differences of successive values of the parameters (RMSSD). QT variability, mean TWC, and TWC variability were increased in the LQTS patients compared with unaffected family members (QT-SD: 38 ± 20 msec vs 19 ± 7 msec, P = 0.0001; QT-RMSSD: 36 ± 20 msec vs 14 ± 8 msec, P = 0.0001; TWC: 27.7% ± 11.1% vs 20.4% ± 6.7%, P = 0.003; TWC-SD: 6.7% ± 2.8% vs 4.6% ± 1.8%, P = 0.003; TWC-RMSSD: 5.3% ± 2.8% vs 3.7% ± 1.2%, P = 0.004, respectively). At the same time, the measures of heart rate variability were similar between the affected and unaffected LQTS subjects (SD of normal-to-normal RR intervals [SDNN]: 94 ± 25 msec vs 89 ± 37 ms, P = 0.56; RMSSD: 49 ± 26 msec vs 49 ± 34 ms, P = 0.97, respectively). Conclusion: Despite similar heart rate variability, QT variability and the variability of TWC are significantly increased in LQTS patients compared with unaffected family members, suggesting that disturbances in temporal dynamics of repolarization and repolarization complexity in LQTS patients possibly increase vulnerability to arrhythmias.

    Notes: Introduction: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are increasingly being used in high-risk long QT syndrome (LQTS) patients, but there are limited data regarding clinical experience with this therapeutic modality. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics of 125 LQTS patients treated with ICDs compared with LQTS patients having similar risk indications who were not treated with ICDs. Methods and Results: Among 125 LQTS patients with ICDs, there were 54 cardiac arrest survivors, 19 patients who had ICDs implanted due to recurrent syncope despite beta-blocker therapy, and 52 patients with ICDs implanted due to other reasons, including syncope and LQTS-related sudden death in a close family member. Patients with cardiac arrest and those with recurrent syncope despite beta-blocker therapy (n = 73) were compared to 161 LQTS patients who had similar indications (89 cardiac arrest and 72 recurrent syncope despite beta-blocker therapy) but did not receive ICDs. Total mortality was the endpoint of the analysis. There was 1 (1.3%) death in 73 ICD patients followed an average of 3 years, whereas there were 26 deaths (16%) in non-ICD patients during mean 8-year follow-up (P = 0.07 from log rank test from Kaplan-Meier curves). Conclusion: ICDs provide an important therapeutic option to prevent sudden arrhythmic death in high-risk LQTS patients. A long-term prospective study is needed to determine the benefit of this therapeutic modality in LQTS patients. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 14, pp. 337-341, April 2003)

    Notes: Introduction: Recent data showed that long QT syndrome (LQTS) patients with mutations in the pore region of the HERG (LQT2) gene have significantly higher risk of cardiac events than subjects with mutations in the non-pore region. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between the location of mutations in the KCNQ1 gene and cardiac events in LQT1 patients. Methods and Results: The study population consisted of 294 LQT1 patients with KCNQ1 gene mutations. Demographic, clinical, and follow-up information was compared among subjects with different locations of KCNQ1 mutations defined as pre-pore region including N-terminus (1–278), pore region (279–354), and post-pore region including C-terminus (〉354). Cardiac events observed during follow-up from birth until age of last contact or age 40 years were defined as syncope, cardiac arrest, or sudden death. There were 164 (56%) LQT1 patients with pre-pore mutations, 101 (34%) with pore mutations, and 29 (10%) with post-pore mutations. QTc duration did not differ significantly among the three subgroups (mean QTc = 494, 487, and 501 ms, respectively). There was no significant difference between groups with regard to the risk of cardiac events by age 40 years. Conclusion: There are no significant differences in clinical presentation, ECG parameters, and cardiac events among LQT1 patients with different locations of KCNQ1 mutations. These findings indicate that factors other than location of mutation influence clinical phenotype in patients with LQT1 mutations. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 14, pp. 1149-1153, November 2003)

    Notes: Introduction: This study was designed to assess whether right ventricular pacing in the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) arm of the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT) II was associated with an unfavorable outcome. Methods and Results: Data on the number of ventricular paced beats were available in 567 (76%) of 742 MADIT II patients with ICDs. The number of ventricular paced beats over the total number of beats showed a bimodal distribution with patients being predominantly paced or nonpaced. Therefore, patients were dichotomized at 0–50% and 51–100% of cumulative pacing with median pacing rate 0.2% and 95.6%, respectively. Endpoints included new or worsening heart failure, appropriate ICD therapy for VT/VF, and the combined endpoint of heart failure or death. Clinical features associated with frequent ventricular pacing included age ≥65 years, advanced NYHA heart failure class, LVEF 〈 0.25, first degree AV and bundle branch block, and amiodarone use. During follow-up, 119 patients (21%) had new or worsened heart failure, 130 (23%) had new or worsened heart failure or death, and 142 (25%) had appropriate therapy for VT/VF. In comparison to patients with infrequent pacing, those with frequent pacing had significantly higher risk of new or worsened heart failure (hazard ratio = 1.93; P = 0.002) and VT/VF requiring ICD therapy (HR = 1.50; P = 0.02). Conclusions: Patients in MADIT II who were predominantly paced had a higher rate of new or worsened heart failure and were more likely to receive therapy for VT/VF. These results suggest the deleterious consequences of RV pacing, particularly in the setting of severe LV dysfunction.

    Notes: Objectives: We sought to evaluate the influence of single- versus dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) on the occurrence of heart failure and mortality as well as appropriate and inappropriate ICD therapy in the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial II (MADIT-II). Background: In MADIT-II, ICD therapy in patients with a prior myocardial infarction and ejection fraction ≤0.30 was associated with a 31% reduction in risk of mortality when compared to conventionally treated patients. An unexpected finding was an increased occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure in the ICD group. Methods: Data from 717 patients randomized to ICD therapy with single- or dual-chamber pacing devices in MADIT-II were retrospectively analyzed. Endpoints selected for analysis included death from any cause, new or worsening heart failure requiring hospitalization, death or heart failure, appropriate therapy for ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), and inappropriate ICD therapy for atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia. Results: A total of 404 single-chamber ICDs (S-ICDs) and 313 dual-chamber ICDs (D-ICDs) were implanted. Patients receiving D-ICDs were at a higher risk at baseline than those receiving S-ICDs, with older age, higher NYHA class, more frequent prior CABG, wider QRS complex, more LBBB, higher BUN level, a history of more atrial arrhythmias requiring treatment, and a longer time interval from their index myocardial infarction to enrollment. While there was a trend toward an increase in adverse outcomes in the D-ICD group, no statistically significant differences in heart failure or mortality were observed between S-ICD versus D-ICD groups. Conclusions: Patients with D-ICDs had a nonsignificant trend toward higher mortality and heart failure rates than patients with S-ICDs.
