Short QT syndrome: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) was described for the first time in 2000. This report describes a case of SQTS in a 29-year-old male patient with resuscitated cardiac arrest in whom the diagnosis was missed in the first instance due to a lack of suspicion. Characteristic electrocardiographic findings provided the diagnosis. The patient was referred for the definitive implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
