摘要
After the sudden death of a 13-year-old girl while she was playing basketball, her family comes to the clinic for medical evaluation (Fig. 1). Her parents' resting electrocardiograms (ECGs) are normal, but her 9-year-old sister's ECG shows an abnormally long QT interval. There is a history of recurrent syncope in female relatives of the maternal grandmother, but there is no family history of other sudden deaths, the sudden infant death syndrome, drowning, or death from a motor vehicle accident. How should these family members be further evaluated and treated? Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.
