title: Syncope in Hereditary Arrhythmogenic Syndromes.
abstract: Since the discovery of the first mutation causing long QT syndrome (LQTS) in 1995, the field of hereditary arrhythmogenic syndromes has expanded greatly. Today, these syndromes include LQTS, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and short QT syndrome. There is also evidence suggesting that the newly described malignant early repolarization syndrome also has a genetic cause.
