What is the management algorithm and the role of left cardiac sympathetic denervation in long QT syndrome?
This literature review explores the management algorithm and the role of left cardiac sympathetic denervation in treating long QT syndrome.
May guide long QT syndrome management algorithms; leaves open the role of left cardiac sympathetic denervation pending prospective data.
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an uncommon and potentially fatal cardiac channelopathy. Treatment options can be medical with β-blockers or surgical with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantations and left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD). Purpose of this paper is through a literature review to identify the management algorithm and the role of sympathectomy in LQTS.
