Abstract | Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a sudden death predisposing condition characterized by ECG-derived prolongation of the QT interval. Previous studies have demonstrated that the supine-stand test may aid in the diagnosis of LQTS as patients fail to shorten their QT interval in response to standing up. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ECG data derived from standard protocol, clinically performed treadmill exercise stress tests (TESTs) in their ability to mimic the formal supine-stand test. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 478 TESTs from patients evaluated for LQTS. Patients referred for evaluation of LQTS but who were dismissed as normal served as controls. Heart rate & QT values were obtained from standard protocol TESTs. Results: Overall, 243 patients with LQTS (125 LQT1, 63 LQT2, 55 LQT3; 146 [60%] female, mean age at TEST 30 ± 17 years) and 235 controls (142 [60%] female, mean age 24 ± 15 years) were included. The paired ΔQTc (QTc Conclusion: TESTs should be used with caution when trying to interpret supine-stand changes for diagnosis of LQTS. |
