title: Not just any ICD device in patients with long-QT syndrome.
abstract: Patients with LQT syndrome are prone to lifethreatening arrhythmias. After surviving such an event, implantation of an ICD is indicated. There are, however, special subtle demands in the treatment of these patients. In this case report we describe our findings in a patient with LQT1 syndrome, and the pitfalls that can and must be avoided. (Neth Heart J 2007;15:418-21.).
