Kearns-Sayre syndrome: association with long QT syndrome?

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
Ahmad Rashid, Michael H Kim

Abstract

Kearns-Sayre syndrome has associated cardiac findings, predominantly complete heart block, which has been implicated as a mechanism of sudden death in these individuals. A patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome who had syncope and multiple cardiac arrests due to ventricular tachycardia in the setting of QT prolongation is described. Long QT syndrome is implicated as another possibility for sudden death in Kearns-Sayre syndrome. This potential association is unexplained, but now totals two reports in the small numbers of patients reported.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
