1 Tailored therapy in long QT syndrome Dominic Abrams St. Bartholomew s & Great Ormond Street Hospitals London, UK Disclosures None

2 Tailored therapy in long QTS Which patients should have tailored therapy...?... all of them. High variability Life threatening episodes in 1st year of life Asymptomatic life long Genetic, environmental & individual factors

3 Tailored therapy in long QTS Beta-blockers have become the mainstay of treatment for long QT syndrome Marked reduction in mortality Schwartz 1975 Projected clinical course Early identification of high risk cases Management of treatment failures

10 Age Long QT in infancy

11 Age Long QT in infancy 23 neonates - QTc 558 ± 62ms Syncope (2), torsades des pointes (7), cardiac failure (6) Neonatal bradycardia Sinus bradycardia (8) - KCNQ1 2:1 AV block (15) - KCNH2/compound Beta-blockers alone (10), beta-blockers with PPM (13) 3 deaths

12 Age Long QT in infancy Early presentation with severe phenotype SCN5A >> KCHN2 >>>> KCNQ1 Combined therapy Beta-blockers ± mexilitine Pacemaker Left cardiac sympathetic denervation Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators Schwartz Circulation 2004

15 QTc interval

16 Normal QTc interval

17 Normal QTc interval

18 Severe QTc prolongation Long QT 3 (1231 G>A; V411M)

19 Long QT genotype

20 Genotype Long QT syndrome & beta-blockers Cardiac events on beta-blockers LQT1-10% LQT2-23% LQT3-32%

21 Genotype Long QT1 & beta-blockers 26 of 216 patients (12%) presented with cardiac arrest 9/26 taking QT prolongingdrugs None implanted with ICD All compliant with betablockers & avoided QT prolonging drugs No further cardiac arrest or SCD 21

22 Genotype Long QT3 & beta-blockers Schwartz Heart Rhythm 2009

23 Implantable cardioverterdefibrillators

24 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators

25 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators Individualised ICD settings Long detection times 45/60 + Single VF zone - >214bpm No ATP Atrial lead AF/SVT discrimination Continue beta-blockade

26 Severe QTc prolongation Compound KCNQ1/KCNH2 Symptomatic despite ICD & BB Sympathectomy 12-lead Holter EPS & ablation

27 Long QT syndrome Atrial pacing Abrams BMJ 2010

28 Long QT syndrome Atrial pacing

29 Long QT syndrome Genetic modification

30 Long QT syndrome Genetic modification South African group of long QT 1 - QTc ms Single pathogenic mutation in KCNQ1 - A341V Assessed for common variants in NOS1AP 2 variants increased QTc and disease severity

31 hipsc for Modelling Cardiovascular Disease Genetic condition Patients Somatic Cells (informed consent: skin, teeth, gingival, blood) Reprogramme & passage Differentiation Analysis e.g. skin heart Long QT Syndrome Chris Denning, University of Nottingham

35 Conclusions Treatment in long QT syndrome should be tailored to the patient Highly variable condition Manage the patient (phenotype) Phenotypic expression affected by multiple factors New technologies may allow better individual modeling and highly individualised treatment strategies
