Key result
Long QT syndrome coexisting with first-degree atrioventricular block was identified in a pediatric patient, marking the first reported case of this rare association.
Why the study?
Coexistence of long QT syndrome with first-degree atrioventricular block had not previously been reported in a pediatric patient.
This case report documents the first known pediatric instance of long QT syndrome coexisting with first-degree atrioventricular block.
Alerts clinicians to screen for AV block in pediatric LQTS; leaves open prevalence and management implications.
The coexistence of long QT syndrome with 2:1 or complete atrioventricular blocks has been reported in the literature, but, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first pediatric case of long QT syndrome coexisting with first-degree atrioventricular blocks( 1 - 3 ).
