摘要
We describe the first LQTS-causing mutation thus far localized in the S5 segment of the fourth SCN5A cardiac sodium channel domain. In 2 of mutation carriers, antimalarial therapy with halofantrine induced a marked prolongation of the QTc interval and torsades de pointes, demonstrating that specific drag treatment may induce ventricular tachycardia in LQT3.
