Abstract
Two patients after being treated for epilepsy for 20 yr had recurrent syncope due to ventricular fibrillation. Neither had structural heart disease. The 1st patient had normal QT and QTc values at all times and the 2nd had a normal QT interval and an intermittently abnormal U wave. In both patients, attacks were suppressed totally by propranolol. These cases and some similar patients reported previously suggest that there may be a forme fruste of the long QT syndrome.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
