Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia Due to Long QT Syndrome.

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare inherited heart condition in which delayed repolarization of the heart following a heartbeat, increases the risk of episodes of Torsades de pointes (TdP, a form of irregular heartbeat that originates from the ventricles). These episodes may lead to palpitations, fainting, and sudden death due to ventricular fibrillation. Episodes may be provoked by various stimuli, depending on the subtype of the condition. We are reporting a case of 37 years old male whom we diagnosed to have long QT syndrome on the basis of clinical and ECG findings.
