摘要
The long QT syndrome is an inherited arrhythmogenic disease characterized by prolongation of QT interval, syncope, and sudden cardiac death because of ventricular tachycardia, mainly in the form of Torsades de Pointes. We present an unusual case of prolonged QT interval and cardiac arrest caused by Torsades de Pointes in the early phase after orthotopic heart transplant. (c) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
