Abstract

A 21-year-old woman with long QT syndrome and missense mutation in HERG (T613M), suffered from repeated attacks of pause dependent torsade de pointes, even though she was given beta-blockers and underwent stellate ganglion block twice at the age of eight. After she received permanent pacemaker implantation and administration of verapamil, no premature beats or pause dependent torsade de pointes was observed.
