摘要

Background

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is considered a primary cardiac ion channelopathy. Several studies have shown that myocardial functional alterations may occur in patients with LQTS type 3 (LQT3). However, it is currently unclear whether there is a specific relationship between phenotype and genotype. The aim of this study is to provide additional information on the phenotype and genotype of LQT3 caused by a novel delKKP 1504–1506 mutation in a Chinese family.

Case presentation

The family came to our attention because of a sustained corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation in a 14-year-old girl who had experienced a loss of consciousness with Mobitz type II atrioventricular block one year earlier. Three family members carrying the delKKP 1504–1506 mutation demonstrated a combination of infero-apical left ventricular aneurysms and prolonged QTc, and two members showed J-waves in the right precordial lead V2.

Conclusions

This case suggests that the delKKP 1504–1506 mutation in SCN5A may not only lead to impaired impulse propagation in the conduction system and a prolonged QTc, but may also be associated with infero-apical ventricular aneurysms and J-wave syndromes, possibly corresponding to regional myocardial fibrosis.
