Why the study?
Does beta-blockade reduce QT prolongation and dispersion of repolarization during exercise and recovery in patients with congenital long-QT syndrome type 1?
Does beta-blockade reduce QT prolongation and dispersion of repolarization during exercise and recovery in patients with congenital long-QT syndrome type 1?
Beta-blocker therapy protects LQT1 patients by reducing dispersion of repolarization during exercise and recovery, providing a mechanistic explanation for their clinical benefit.
