Abstract

AbstractIntroductionWe report the case of an 18‐year‐old female with recurrent syncope that was discovered to have congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) and episodes of a transiently short QT interval after spontaneous termination of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.Methods & ResultsA cardiac event monitor revealed a long QT interval and initiation of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia by a premature ventricular complex on the preceding T‐wave. After 1 minute of ventricular fibrillation, her arrhythmia spontaneously terminated with evidence of a short QT interval.ConclusionsA transient, potentially artificial, short QT interval following Torsades de Pointes can occur in patients with LQTS.
