Orgasm induced torsades de pointes in a patient with a novel mutation with long-QT syndrome type 2: a case report

摘要

IntroductionCongenital long-QT (LQT) syndrome can lead to torsades de pointes (TdP), which can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation resulting in sudden death. Thus far, more than 16 genes have been linked to the LQT syndrome. We report an orgasm-induced TdP in a patient with LQT syndrome type 2 with a novel mutation in the KCNH2 gene.
