β-Blockers Protect Against Dispersion of Repolarization During Exercise in Congenital Long-QT Syndrome Type 1.

      ab: Dispersion of Repolarization in LQT1. Introduction:β-Blocker therapy reduces syncope and sudden death in long-QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1), but the mechanism of protection is incompletely understood. This study tested the hypothesis that β-blockade reduces QT prolongation and dispersion of repolarization, measured as the T peak-to-end interval (Tpe), during exercise and recovery in LQT1 patients. Methods and Results: QT and Tpe were measured in 10 LQT1 patients (33 ± 13 years) and 35 normal subjects (32 ± 12 years) during exercise tests on and off β-blockade. In LQT1 patients, β-blockade reduced QT (391 ± 25 milliseconds vs 375 ± 26 milliseconds, P = 0.04 during exercise; 419 ± 41 milliseconds vs 391 ± 39 milliseconds, P = 0.02 during recovery) and markedly reduced Tpe (91 ± 26 milliseconds vs 67 ± 19 milliseconds, P = 0.03 during exercise; 103 ± 26 milliseconds vs 78 ± 11 milliseconds, P = 0.02 during recovery). In contrast, in normal subjects, β-blockade had no effect on QT (320 ± 17 milliseconds vs 317 ± 16 milliseconds, P = 0.29 during exercise; 317 ± 13 milliseconds vs 315 ± 14 milliseconds, P = 0.15 during recovery) and mildly reduced Tpe (69 ± 13 milliseconds vs 61 ± 11 milliseconds, P = 0.01 during exercise; 77 ± 19 milliseconds vs. 68 ± 14 milliseconds, P < 0.001 during recovery). Conclusion: In LQT1 patients, β-blockers reduced QT and Tpe during exercise and recovery, supporting the theory that β-blocker therapy protects LQT1 patients by reducing dispersion of repolarization during exercise and recovery.
