Key result
Inherited arrhythmia syndromes present significant clinical challenges due to ongoing gaps in diagnosis and treatment.
Why the study?
Significant gaps in knowledge complicate the clinical management of Brugada syndrome, congenital long QT syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
This review highlights critical knowledge gaps in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of inherited arrhythmia syndromes, calling for large collaborative cohort studies.
Gaps in inherited arrhythmia syndrome diagnosis and risk stratification warrant clinical caution; leaves open the need for large collaborative cohort studies.
The 3 most common inherited arrhythmia syndromes-Brugada syndrome, congenital long QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia-were initially described in the previous century. Since then, research has evolved, which has enabled us to identify patients prior to the onset of potentially life-threatening symptoms. However, there are significant gaps in knowledge that complicate clinical management of these patients today. With this review paper, we aim to highlight the most important knowledge gaps in clinical research of these inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

Peltenburg et al. (2023) conducted a review in Inherited arrhythmia syndromes (Brugada syndrome, congenital long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia). Inherited arrhythmia syndromes, including Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, and CPVT, present significant clinical challenges due to ongoing gaps in knowledge regarding diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment.
