Delighted to share a concise update on the latest NEJM review of Long QT Syndrome đĢđ â a masterful synthesis by Schwartz & Crotti that reframes how we recognize risk, personalize therapy, and prevent sudden death in this genetically mediated disorder. The piece highlights ion-channel biology, gene-specific triggers, the impact of modifier genes, and the effectiveness of a tiered therapeutic approach including beta-blockers, mexiletine, and left cardiac sympathetic denervation âĄī¸đ§ŦđĄī¸.

For clinicians and trainees, it's a compelling reminder that precise diagnosis, careful QT interpretation, and yearly risk reassessment remain central to saving lives. Highly recommended reading for anyone involved in cardiac electrophysiology or inherited arrhythmia care đâ¨
