This week's episode of the podcast is supported by the SADS Foundation (SADS.ORG) and is on the topic of the overdiagnosis of LQTS. What sorts of conditions can lengthen the QT interval without true congenital LQTS syndrome? What are the most common errors of ECG interpretation that account for misdiagnosis of this condition and are there leads of the ECG that might help or hurt when attempting to accurately measure the QT interval. What is the role of the ICD in the LQTS patient? We speak with Professor of Pediatrics, Medicine and Pharmacology at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, Dr. Michael Ackerman about a recent work he published on this important topic.
