Molecular genetic markers of QT interval duration and sudden cardiac death: literature review by A. M. Nesterets, V. N. Maksimov

“…An increase or decrease in the duration of the QT interval, which reflects the work of ion channels, as well as ventricular depolarization and repolarization, increases the risk of SCD.The aim of this review was to study and analyze the available literature data on the relationship of molecular genetic markers with the duration of the QT interval.Currently, there is a number of genetic studies that allow to identify a large number of mutations and polymorphisms of known genes that affect the variability of the QT interval, showing their significance in risk stratification of sudden arrhythmic death and choosing the right tactics for managing, preventing, and treating patients, thus reducing the risk of SCD. …”
